Newport Beach ID Theft Ring Nabbed
How about some bookmark love? ::
Orange County has been buzzing about a rash of ID theft recently. Though I don't like that crime happens, it is a fact of life. This type of crime can effect your credit as well as your ability to buy a home, thus it lands as part of the discussion on the Laguna Niguel Real Estate Blog.
In a previous life, I worked for a company overseeing credit card security. I was part of the team of people who would shut off credit cards if a pattern showed that there was likely fraudulent spending activity. If your last known location was in Laguna, and at the same time someone charged a surfboard to your credit card in Brazil, there would be a problem.
The other day a staff member from my office told me about how her debit card and pin number had both recently been compromised. Though she had her card in her possession, her card had been cloned by ID Thieves who then used it for fraudulent activities connected to ATM machines in LA.
So while this group appeared to use these cloned cards at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, they then went on to resell the merchandise that they bought on eBay.
