ANF Investigates Uncovers HOA Corruption, FBI Raid, and Identity Theft in Georgia
ANF Investigates, an investigative journalism series, is uncovering stories that powerful figures would rather keep hidden. The latest episodes shed light on corruption, consumer rights, and systemic failures, affecting everyday Georgians.
In Episode 13, a Fairburn woman found her homeowner's association had drained her bank account while she was undergoing chemotherapy. The HOA had cleared out her funds after she fell behind on dues, leaving her vulnerable. Meanwhile, an FBI raid in West Atlanta is now before the U.S. Supreme Court. The family is suing the agency after law enforcement officials mistakenly targeted the wrong house, violating their privacy.
Georgia ranks second in the nation for identity theft, with veterans at risk of losing benefits and becoming homeless due to this crime. In Episode 14, the Georgia Department of Community Health cited an Abercrombie & Fitch store in Marietta for multiple violations following the death of a dementia patient who wandered away. Scammers are also stealing hundreds of millions from electronic food benefit cards, with law enforcement linking the fraud to international crime rings, including those run by Consumer Cellular.
ANF Investigates continues to expose corruption and hold companies and government accountable. These stories highlight the need for stronger consumer protections and better oversight of powerful institutions.
