Long Island Woman Charged With Stealing Identities Of 250 People

Posted on May 15, 2015 by Dissent

CBS/AP report:

An arrest on Long Island has halted a scheme that plundered the identities of hundreds of people, including the dead and disabled, in 31 states, authorities said Friday. The scheme, with evidence dating back to 2013, netted more than $200,000 in ill-gotten gains, officials said.

Seerojnie Ram, 47, of Freeport, was arraigned Thursday on grand larceny and other charges.

The defendant obtained lists of dead people, employees at private companies and customers entitled to discounts because of disabilities, authorities said. About 50 other identities were invented out of thin air, they said.

Read more on CBS. It would be nice to know how she obtained those lists.
