$4M Credit Card Scam Rocks Fresno Business

A Clovis woman has been accused of using her employer's credit card to rack up over $4 million in personal purchases.

Kelly Lynn Brown, a 47-year-old bookkeeper, allegedly worked for a Fresno business from 2020 to 2024 and had access to employee information, including the owner's personal details.

Brown suggested the owner get an American Express card for business expenses, but prosecutors claim she then opened another card under the owner's account without permission.

The bookkeeper is accused of using the company's bank account to pay the charges, helping conceal the scheme.
