Three New York men are accused of using a fake military identification card in a Maine bank fraud scheme.

George Mendez, 66, Miguel Molinar, 35, and Leigh Jackson, 34, all from Brooklyn, New York, have been charged with theft by deception, misuse of identification and criminal conspiracy, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.

Those charges come after one of the men entered First National Bank in Wiscasset, where he allegedly impersonated a customer using that person’s information on a fake military ID about 1:30 p.m. Friday. He allegedly tried to withdraw $6,700, but after failing to answer security questions, left the bank.
