California Man Accused of Organizing ID Theft Ring

Posted by Kara Reeder Mar 30, 2009 2:59:19 PM

The Las Vegas Sun reports that Jerry Van Le, a resident of Northern California, has been accused of stealing the Social Security numbers from about 25 children, immigrants and others who had not yet established credit, in order to make millions in purchases. Le was able to access the information through his work as a mortgage broker.

 

Not only did Le purchase a new home, vehicles and electronics using the Social Security numbers, but he also is accused of selling the information to others for between $3,500 and $6,000 each, according to the Associated Press.

 

Le is facing charges of bank, wire and computer fraud.
