WA: Kennewick real estate agent sentenced for ID theft scheme

Posted on February 11, 2009 by Dissent

Kristin M. Kraemer reports:

A 56-year-old woman who helped her adult daughter defraud bank customers so they could buy expensive online goods tearfully said Tuesday that their relationship is forever changed.

Cynthia Jean Walker was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Richland to six months in federal custody — the same sentence her daughter received last month.

[…]

Janosky, 36, was a Bank of the West executive in Kennewick when in 2007 she took personal and financial data from unsuspecting customers.

Those bank records, such as a female customer’s maiden name, were then used to open credit cards so the mother-daughter duo could buy at least $13,000 in TVs, a Sony PlayStation 3, a treadmill and other merchandise on Sears.com.

Walker, a real estate agent, found vacant Kennewick homes that were listed for sale to use as a “drop address” for receiving the fraudulent credit cards and statements.
