Woman pleads guilty to credit card scheme

PITTSBURGH — Federal prosecutors say a Florida woman has pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge after scheming to use counterfeit credit cards to make purchases at outlet malls in Grove City and Washington.

Prosecutors say that Jeisey Camejo-Escandell, 30, of Miami, arrived in Pittsburgh on June 25, 2015, “for the purpose of using counterfeit credit cards to make purchases of merchandise at the outlet stores in Washington and Grove City on June 26, 2015.”

In a news release announcing the guilty plea, prosecutors said that Camejo-Escandell faces a maximum of five years in prison, a fine of $250,000, or both.

Prosecutors said that the investigation involved the U.S. Attorney, Secret Service, Postal Inspection Service, Department of Homeland Security, state police, Allegheny County Police and Pittsburgh City Police.

U.S. District Judge Cathy Bissoon set sentencing in the case for Dec. 6, prosecutors said.
