Supervalu sent $10 million to fraudulent bank accounts; money recovered
Rebecca Boone, Associated Press
Supervalu Inc., the Eden Prairie-based grocer, fell prey to an e-mail
scam this year, sending more than $10 million to two fraudulent bank
accounts, according to federal court filings.
The company discovered the ruse soon after it began and reported it to
police, who coordinated with the FBI to recover the money from banks in
Arkansas and Miami Beach, Fla., before it could be withdrawn, according
to a pair of forfeiture cases filed under seal earlier this year. They
were filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho.
