Identity Theft: It's Not Worth It

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Inspector General (OIG) today announced the release of its second DVD on the issue of identity theft in the student financial assistance arena.

Entitled "Identity Theft: It's Not Worth It," the DVD tracks how OIG, together with the U.S. Attorney's Office, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and Truckee Meadows Community College stopped a $1 million financial aid fraud scam, spearheaded by 64-year old grandmother, Ann Armstrong.

Along with four of her children and three of her grandchildren, Armstrong was convicted of using the identities of more than 65 people to fraudulently obtain federal student aid at various colleges in Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Nevada, and Texas.

From January 2000 to March 2004, the Armstrongs obtained personal identifying information for various people and used it to enroll in distance education/on-line classes at colleges in those states. They applied for federal student loans and grants through the schools using these identities, submitting all information via e-mail or fax. Read more at ed.gov.
