South Carolina embezzling from a credit union is the illegal appropriation of funds from a credit union by an employee or representative of the credit union. This type of fraud can include misappropriation of funds, the taking of unauthorized loan advances, theft of assets, manipulation of accounts, and other illegal activities. There are three main types of South Carolina embezzling from a credit union: internal embezzlement, external embezzlement, and identity theft. Internal embezzlement is when a credit union employee or representative uses their access to steal money or assets from the credit union. External embezzlement occurs when someone from outside the credit union uses false pretenses to gain access to the funds. Identity theft is when someone uses another person’s personal information to access the credit union’s funds.
