Vikings' Dallas Turner Scammed Out of $240K

News summary

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Dallas Turner, a 2024 first-round draft pick, was the victim of a $240,000 bank fraud scheme after being contacted in February by scammers impersonating a JPMorgan Chase banker. The fraudsters convinced Turner to wire $120,000 each to two business accounts under the guise of protecting his funds from an alleged impersonation attempt. Turner realized he had been scammed after discussing the matter with family and reported the incident to Eagan Police in April. Authorities have identified several suspects, recovered about $2,500, and are pursuing criminal charges, while JPMorgan Chase is investigating possible employee involvement. The case has prompted significant social media discussion, with some questioning Turner’s judgment despite annual fraud prevention training provided by the Vikings. Turner is expected to play a rotational role as the Vikings’ No. 3 outside linebacker this season.
