Jennifer McGough, a Seminole County woman, is facing a growing set of charges after prosecutors alleged she scammed a man out of $10,000 and purchased more than 20 credit card numbers off the black market.

McGough appeared in court last Thursday to address the allegations. A judge set her bond at $20,000, and she remained held at the Seminole County Jail as of Sunday.

The case involves two overlapping sets of accusations: the alleged $10,000 scam of an individual man and the separate acquisition and use of stolen credit card numbers obtained through black market channels. Local prosecutors filed additional charges following an investigation, though the full scope of those charges and the specific statutes cited have not been disclosed in available records.

Authorities allege McGough purchased more than 20 credit cards through black market sources, a volume that suggests a sustained pattern of activity rather than a single incident. The total financial losses alleged across all card use have not been publicly detailed, though investigators have characterized the conduct as involving theft of thousands of dollars.

McGough is scheduled to return to Seminole County court for her next hearing on April 14. The specific charges, arresting agency, and any defense response have not yet been made public.
