But, wouldn’t it be cool to be the person who calls in a tip that leads to the capture and arrest of a criminal who runs an identity theft ring with 500 victims?
That is right. Crime stoppers wants your help. Right now, in NYC, law enforcement is looking for Raven Moses, (pictured) for identity theft and bank fraud scheme involving thousands of counterfeit checks with numerous commercial banks in Manhattan, police said. Moses, along with other individuals, obtained personal and bank account information and used it to write thousands of counterfeit checks.
According to the police, the defendants stole more than “$1.4 million from one bank’s accounts and substantial additional sums from other banks.”
