According to court documents, Michelle Jane Sporck, 51, of Pottsville, has been charged with Access Device Fraud (F3), Theft by Unlawful Taking (F3), and Receiving Stolen Property (F3). The charges stem from an investigation into fraudulent activity reported on an M&T Bank checking account.
Police say the victim reported the suspicious activity on October 29, 2025, stating that Sporck, who had been residing with him, had been using his debit card without authorization. Authorities say Sporck later admitted to using the card and bank information without permission.
Investigators reviewed surveillance footage from M&T Bank locations, which allegedly showed Sporck conducting ATM withdrawals. Police say she also acknowledged making purchases online through various retailers and services, including Amazon, eBay, and other platforms.
According to the affidavit, Sporck told investigators she had been making withdrawals and purchases since around August or September 2021. A review of the account showed transactions occurring between December 2021 and November 2025 totaling $63,096.81.
Police allege Sporck knew the victim’s PIN and used it to access funds without authorization, including ATM withdrawals and online purchases such as jewelry, clothing, and other merchandise.
As of this posting, Sporck has not yet been arraigned on the charges.
