A Philadelphia man was indicted Tuesday for allegedly using ATM cards he obtained from "co-schemers" he solicited on Facebook to steal $47,000 in cash and purchases, prosecutors said.

Steven Ronald Randall, 24, was charged with two counts of bank fraud and 32 counts of aggravated identity theft, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. He allegedly made purchases from stores, including Walmart, Wawa, and Pathmark.

From February through July of last year, he posted pictures on Facebook of piles of cash to convince people he would give them quick cash in return for letting him use their ATM cards, prosecutors said. He told his co-schemers to tell authorities that the cards were lost or stolen. - Robert Moran
