In court for ID fraud to secure employment in the US

Consumers see ID fraud as biggest threat – Mortgage Finance Gazette

 

A man who had the guts to steal a Harare businessman’s identity which he used to secure employment in the United States of America has appeared in court.

‌Moses William was arraigned before Harare magistrate Munashe Chibanda and was granted US$300 bail, coupled with conditions to surrender his travel documents and to report once every week at ZRP Commercial Crime Division.

The complainant, a managing director of a company, raised suspicion about William’s employment with Ohio-based InnoSource last year.

The company confirmed that an identity fraud had taken place, resulting in William’s contract being terminated.

The complainant’s US passport was also cancelled as a result of William’s fraudulent activity.

Police also discovered evidence at William’s home which suggested he had also adopted another name, when they raided his residence.

The cops recovered the complainant’s background checks, reference requests as well as his social security number.

The police also recovered communication between him and InnoSource using a fraudulent email purporting to be the complainant.

They also recovered a copy of the complainant’s passport, which he used to make job applications.
