Ex-Employee of Charity Jailed for ID Theft Targeting Donors ...

A former clerk of the United Jewish Appeal-Federation who sold donors? personal financial data to an identity-theft ring was sentenced Friday to at least six years in prison, reports the New York Post.

Tracey Nelson, 25, admitted to grand larceny as part of a plea deal. Investigators said she photocopied hundreds of checks and provided credit-card numbers to accomplices during her three-year tenure with the Manhattan-based charity, which ended in August 2011 when the scam came to light.

Charges are pending against several other alleged members of the 55-person identity theft ring, some of whom also had positions that gave them access to wealthy individuals? financial data, including a car salesman and an employee with a property-management firm. Prosecutors said that no individuals suffered financial damage but that banks and credit-card companies lost more than $2-million reimbursing victims for fraudulent transactions.
