BOARDMAN

Police are investigating a case of identity fraud in which a woman says her General Motors employee discount was used fraudulently during transactions at a Market Street car dealership.

The woman told police her employee discount was used on six transactions at Sweeney Chevrolet beginning February 2005, according to reports.

Records state the woman received a letter Friday from GM asking her to repay the more than $18,000 in discounts, even though she has told GM that she did not know about the purchases.
