A man was arrested in Sacramento for fraudulent activities involving customer reward programs. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office reported that 38-year-old Inam Rasool was found with over $25,000 worth of stolen goods, including snack foods and electronics. He operated a shipping operation from his garage.
In February 2025, Rasool attempted to leave a local Sam’s Club with unpaid merchandise. After being stopped by a receipt checker, he paid for the unscanned items. Further investigation revealed that Rasool used other customers' account information to make purchases, depleting their "reward" money. He then sold the items online. Detectives from the Sacramento Sheriff's Department Property Crimes Bureau and Organized Retail Crime Unit used this information to build a case against him for theft and fraud over multiple visits, as stated by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office.
On Wednesday, authorities searched Rasool's home and found a setup for small-scale distribution, including a computer, label printer, and shipping materials. "Detectives executed a search warrant on Rasool’s residence, where they discovered hundreds of items valued at over $25,000, all fraudulently obtained from Sam’s Club, inside his garage," according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office on their Facebook page. Rasool was charged with Grand Theft and is being held at Sacramento County Main Jail on $250,000 bail. His court date is scheduled for the day after his arrest. Detectives are asking other businesses that may have been affected to contact the Sheriff’s Property Crimes Bureau at 916-875-5388.
