Identity Thieves And Ebay - Arrested!

Ever wonder what these Identity Thieves do with all the merchandise they buy with their bogus credit cards? Read this interesting article:

The suspects allegedly used counterfeit American Express, MasterCard and Visa credit cards to buy items from department stores using counterfeit California driver's licenses, Sailor said.

The suspects returned the purchased goods to the stores for cash back or sold them on eBay. Authorities estimate losses to currently be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.


Fortunately, the police in Orange County, California have arrested people who were involved in this theft ring.

We see the motivation of Identity Thieves - real money can be made. Protect yourself and take action when you find any evidence of Identity Theft.
