Former Capital One teller sentenced for stealing customer information

Posted on March 4, 2014 by Dissent

Associated Press reports:

A bank teller who conspired to use customers’ information to order fraudulent checks and steal money their accounts has been sentenced to more than five years in prison. Twenty-four-year-old Jayad Zainab Ester Conteh of Glenarden was also ordered to pay more than $36,000 in restitution at sentencing Tuesday in federal court in Baltimore. According to evidence presented at trial, Conteh was a teller at an unidentified bank when she looked up account information without authorization. Prosecutors say Conteh gave the information to her conspirators, who opened fraudulent checking accounts and withdrew money.

According to court records obtained by DataBreaches.net, Conteh worked at the Capital One branch located at 8315 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland. As part of a conspiracy, she accessed confidential computerized account information of Capital One customers and obtained their names, dates of birth, social security numbers, and other means of identification.

Paul Anthony Wilson (aka Anthony Johnson) was also charged in the case for his role in cashing fraudulent checks. From the docket, it appears his case has not yet gone to trial.
