New York-area identity theft ring targeted customers of local banks and resulted in $850,000 in fraud losses over four years, authorities say. Three bank tellers allegedly accessed and stole account numbers and Social Security numbers of hundreds of unsuspecting customers. Two other defendants allegedly used the information to create fake documents using the stolen customers’ information. Two of the defendants face up to 15 years in prison and three could face up as much as 7 years in jail, New York AG Eric Schneiderman says.”]
