Wow, a lawyer in Memphis got scammed by his secretary AND mdash;she embezzled over $362,000 from him, says an article on wreg.com. Attorney Jerry Schatz hired Teresa Sumpter, 48, in July of 2013.
Little did he know that his assistant would end up stealing checks from his trust account, forging her signature on them, and opening three credit cards AND mdash;all in his name. And she named herself as an authorized user.
And what did this conniving little pill do with the stolen money? Sumpter bought several vehicles, paid some bills and purchased some miscellaneous things.
After her arrest she was charged with six counts of identity theft, two counts of forgery and two counts of theft of property.
So you see, the AND ldquo;bad guy AND rdquo; is sometimes a woman. It happens more often than you think, too. An article at sacbee.com tells the case of Natashia Adams Lugo, 31, whose dirty deeds of identity theft got her a sentence of almost 15 years in a state prison.
Lugo had been employed by Job Journal LLC. Then she was fired. So she decided to get some revenge by using her former employer AND rsquo;identity fraudidentity protectionIdentity Theft
