The Newark Advocate reported:
More than $700,000 was stolen from the Granville Recreation District after someone with a fraudulent account gained access to the district’s email in October last year, according to a new Granville police report.
According to the police report, someone was able to "enter into an email thread and provide information" for "payment of services rendered. This was a fraudulent account (not the intended recipient) and the funds were wired to it."
The Recreation District, which provides recreational and educational opportunities such as youth sports, the well-attended Concerts on the Green, nature camps and driving classes for Granville residents, has an annual budget of about $1.25 million to $1.5 million, Wildman said.
