Maryland man used identities obtained by Top of the Line Marketing employee in fraud scheme

Posted on November 3, 2011 by Dissent

From the StarDemocrat:

A Gaithersburg man will serve at least two years in prison for an identity theft scheme that included Eastern Shore residents, the U.S. Attorney for District of Maryland announced last week.

Jain Vivek, 26, pleaded guilty last week to one count of conspiracy to commit access device fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft.

[…]

Georgia police in February found Vivek with 42 debit cards, and with a list of names, birth dates and social security numbers of about 1,200 Marylanders, including Eastern Shore residents.

Vivek admitted his co-defendant, Amiee “Mike” Arora, of Top of the Line Marketing in Rockville, gave him that list of names. He then said he used information from about 40 people.

The scheme ran from the summer of 2010 through February.

Read more on The Star Democrat.

Because I didn’t recognize the names, I did a bit of digging and found that an Amiee Mike Arora had been cited by the FTC back in 2003 as the registered agent for another marketing firm, AV Marketing, Inc., for violations of the Communications Act of 1934 and FCC regulations concerning unsolicited telephone solicitations.
