CEO Arrested For Stealing Identities of Employees
How can you protect your identity from being stolen by your boss? This is one scary story:
CEO of MSP Provider Compulinx Under Arrest
Terrence D. Chalk, 44, of White Plains was arraigned in federal court in White Plains, along with his nephew, Damon T. Chalk, 35, after an FBI investigation turned up the curious lending and spending habits. The pair are charged with submitting some $1 million worth of credit applications using the names and personal information — names, addresses and social security numbers — of some of Compulinx’s 50 employees. According to federal prosecutors, the employees’ information was used without their knowledge; the Chalks falsely represented to the lending institutions, in writing and in face-to-face meetings, that the employees were actually officers of the company.
How can people protect their information from their employers? We can’t. This is the most scariest development yet in identity theft crime.
