ID theft victim warns others
Posted on Feb 21, 2006 by Tom Fragala
This story jumped out at me because an in-home caregiver stole the identity if her client. I can’t post every ID theft story I see, because there isn’t enough time in the day. However, I want to emphasize that you should be careful of anyone you let into your home. Study after study show that around half of ID theft victims know the thief.
Two weeks ago Mandy Benzing got a notice that her cell phone bill was overdue. She thought it was a mistake, because she doesn't even have a cell phone.
Then she found out a woman sent to her home by a health care company had stolen her identity and opened a cell phone account.Benzing, the mother of two autistic sons, has a Certified Nursing Assistant from Ware Health Care Service come to her home four days a week. In November Benzing says Jacqueline Bowman came as a temporary, while her regular C.N.A. was off. She stayed one day alone in the Benzing Home.
