ID theft ring charged with stealing over $500K from 5 victims, including PTA of Brooklyn public school: DA
“Each of these accounts, from a public-school PTA’s operating funds to a home health aide’s life savings, was drained within days,” Bragg said. “We allege this operation stole credit and debit cards from the mail, and then activated them by taking over the victims’ phone numbers, before withdrawing cash, wiring funds, or going on shopping sprees. Fast-acting scams like these are on the rise, and we urge consumers to be vigilant when monitoring their accounts.”
