Credit Union Employee Accused of Identity Theft
According to the East Valley Tribune, a Phoenix woman who was fired from her credit union job for running unlawful credit checks on four clients has been arrested for allegedly committing identity theft. She was busted when a bank customer reported that she received a call from a bank thanking her for applying for a credit card she didn’t apply for.
When the victim saw the address on the credit card application, she searched the county assessor’s website. She saw the name of the bank employee and recognized it as the woman who had assisted her with a home refinance loan in November 2009. When she reported the incident, the bank investigated and found that the employee had been fired from her job for running unlawful credit checks.
