Mind if I give you a dose of ID theft?
We’ve established that ID thieves might not be who you think they are, but the Associated Press reports that they might even be the people who are supposed to help you.
In Virginia Beach, a nurse faces charges that he stole a credit card from a dead man, the AP reports. He used the card to buy a laptop computer and a security camera revealed footage of a man in scrubs (note to future nurse-thieves: ditch the scrubs) buying a laptop. The wife of the deceased called to cancel the card, only to find that it had been used six hours after he died.
The nurse, Michael Wiseman, 24, was fired on Monday, the AP reports, and faces one count of credit-card theft and one count of credit-card fraud. And numerous counts of being intensely strange.
