Identity Thief Fraudulently Opens Phone Account, Police Say

AT&T? Verizon? The thinking must have been, "Who cares what phone company you choose when you're working with someone else's money?"

In this case, someone chose Verizon as the provider in which to open a cell phone account in the name of an Upper Milford Township man, according to state police at Fogelsville.

And, as you have no doubt suspected, that someone was not the true account holder.

David B. Sebring of John Street was the victim of the fraud in which someone racked up a bill of $382.04 in his name on a Verizon account, police said. The incident was reported on Feb. 22.
