A report of suspected fraud at United Community Bank revealed a case involving family issues and financial misconduct. On December 5, the bank called the Summerville Police Department about a fraudulent withdrawal connected to Marvin Dutton’s bank account, who died on October 22, 2024. According to the report from the Summerville Police Department, a bank official said that one of Dutton’s children withdrew $2,244 from their deceased father’s account at the bank. Social Security checks are supposed to be returned to the United States Treasury after the beneficiary passes away. Dutton’s family member returned $1,000 of the funds to the bank, but then stopped communications. Police told the bank that since a portion of the money was returned, the matter would need to be taken up in civil court.
