FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Action News has learned the Fresno Unified School District was involved in an alleged scam.
It involved the district paying more than $2 million to someone pretending to be the district’s largest construction contractor.
A letter to Fresno County from Bryan Martin, an attorney representing Fresno Unified, said the district directed the county to issue two checks to an account of someone impersonating Davis Moreno Construction.
The letter stated that, of the $2.2 million, a little more than $1 million has already been withdrawn.
First Community Credit Union in North Dakota is holding onto the remainder.
In September 2024, the district alerted the public about $7 million that had been sent out to fraudulent accounts.
