Minnesota Vikings Dallas Turner Loses $240K in Bank Fraud Scheme

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Dallas Turner fell victim to a bank fraud scheme in February 2025, losing approximately $240,000 after being deceived by a caller impersonating a JPMorgan Chase banker. The fraudster claimed someone was impersonating Turner at a Chase Bank branch in Arizona and instructed him to transfer his funds to two separate business accounts to protect them from the alleged fraudulent activity. Turner physically visited two different Chase Bank branches in Minnesota, transferring $120,000 to accounts named Island Food Truck LLC and CNL FL LLC before realizing the scam. Turner and his attorney reported the incident to police in April, and the Dakota County investigation has identified several suspects, with formal charges expected and about $2,450 recovered. The police are probing how the fraudster obtained Turner's sensitive information, including his full name, linked phone numbers, and LLC account details, and whether any bank employees were involved. The Vikings provide players with regular fraud prevention training and services, but Turner still became a victim of the sophisticated scam as he prepares to enter his second NFL season.
