South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson announced that his office’s Vulnerable Adults and Medicaid Provider Fraud unit (VAMPF) has arrested Floyd R. Blackley, 55 years old, of Chesnee, South Carolina. A joint investigation by VAMPF and the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office concluded that, from December 19, 2024, to April 21, 2025, Floyd Blackley knowingly and willfully engaged in the unlawful, unauthorized, and improper use of a vulnerable adult’s funds or assets for his own profit or advantage. Investigators allege that Blackley, through false pretenses or representations and with the intent to cheat and defraud the victim, gained access to and obtained funds from the victim’s account, stealing approximately $17,185 in total. Additionally, on two separate occasions, Blackley is accused of forging the victim’s signature by endorsing loan checks in the amounts of $5,022.14 and $1,000, depositing these checks into the victim’s bank account, and then withdrawing the funds for his personal use. As part of the scheme, investigators further allege that Blackley knowingly devised and executed a plan to obtain money and funds owned or controlled by Bank of America through false or fraudulent pretenses.
