Minnesota Vikings second-year pass rusher Dallas Turner lost of $240,000 after being victim to a bank fraud scheme.

According to court records, the 22-year-old Turner received a call on Feb. 19 “from an individual impersonating a JP Morgan Chase banker. The caller claimed someone was attempting to impersonate Turner at a Chase Bank branch in Arizona.”

The caller then somehow convinced Turner that to prevent that person from fraudulently withdrawing money, he would need to transfer month to two separate business accounts. Turner then went to two different Chase branches and at each of them transferred $120,000 to fraudulent business accounts. Only later when talking to a relative about what happened to him did Turner begin to suspect he had been a victim of a scam.
