Identity theft via SSN fraud in Colorado
Posted on Jul 6, 2006 by Tom Fragala
The Governor of Colorado brought to light just how many people are illegally using SSN’s to obtain employment in that state. More from Rocky Mountain News.
On the eve of the legislature's special session to address illegal immigration, Owens rattled off a list of identity-theft transgressions in Colorado and said the current $50 fine levied against businesses who submit false Social Security numbers isn't enough of a deterrent.
Standing next to Rick Grice, executive director of the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, Owens said that the numbers related to identity theft in the state are startling. According to Grice's statistics, one Social Security number alone was reported by 57 different employers. Another Social Security number was found to be on the rolls of 50 different businesses.
