New York Woman Sentenced for Multiple Fraud Offenses

PORTLAND, Maine: A New York woman was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Portland for bank fraud, false use of a passport, and aggravated identity theft.

U.S. District Judge John A. Woodcock Jr. sentenced Lisa Campos, 59, to time served, to be followed by 3 years of supervised release. Campos had already served approximately 28 months in custody. Campos was also ordered to pay $8,000 in restitution. Campos pleaded guilty on May 23, 2024.

According to court records, in May 2023, Campos attempted to withdraw funds from a credit union account belonging to two victims. Campos presented a fake United States passport card as identification. She was successful in withdrawing $8000 from one credit union and made two additional unsuccessful attempts at other branch locations. Shortly after leaving the third branch, Campos was located by Freeport Police Department officers and provided them with the purported passport card and a debit card, both in one of the victim's names.

The U.S. Department of State's Diplomatic Security Service investigated the case, with assistance from the Sanford, Topsham, and Freeport Police Departments.
