Identity fraud reported in Poland

POLAND

Village police are investigating a case of identity fraud in which someone used the identity of a Village resident to open accounts. 

According to a police report filed earlier this week, the 86-year-old victim told police that she discovered the misuse of her identity when the Internal Revenue Service informed her via a letter that she owed $1,000 in back taxes. 

She then discovered that someone had opened numerous accounts in her name, including a home mortgage.
