Police Scammed!
Identity Theft . Law Enforcement . NewsThis is a few days old but seemed worth repeating! Seems no one is immune to the wiles of a good con artist! Not even the Police, who should know better!! Seems a Wisconsin man has been jailed in hurricane scam. A man from Green Bay, WI, accused of perpetrating a Hurricane Katrina scam, is jailed on $50 million dollars bond in New Orleans. Scott Benson is charged with extracting personal information from 2,500 police officers and other emergency workers in New Orleans following the hurricane. Benson is booked on 2,500 counts of false impersonation and 2,500 counts of identity theft. Prosecutors say Benson and another man, Christ Armstrong of Orlando, FL, had officers sign application forms that included personal information in order to receive $5,000 dollars from Viacom. The men are accused of planning to use information from the emergency workers to steal disaster assistance that was supposed to go to hurricane victims.
