Section: Identity Theft Stories
A Bronx man has been indicted on charges related to identity theft and fraud. The man allegedly "sold insurance policies and stole more than $300,000 in insurance commissions by using another man's name."
For over 10 years the defendant Gabriel Feliz, 47, posed as another man and sold insurance policies in his name. From the article: "Feliz took continuing education courses while pretending to be the other person, periodically renewed the broker's license that he held in that second person's name, appeared at Insurance Department disciplinary proceedings as that individual, and appropriated at least $300,000 in commissions that the insurance companies sent to Feliz' business address in the name of the other individual."
The man allegedly deposited the checks in the other man's name in his own personal accounts to avoid taxes. If he is convicted he could face up to 15 years in prison. |
