To whom this may concern:
I am a World War II veteran. I was born December 16, 1920.
I would like to report and make notice to something that happened to me.
There is a lady I met at Costco® last year. Shady Lady is her name. She approached me and we started a friendship. My wife had just passed. She told me that she was a nurse/caretaker. So, I hired her thinking she would cook, clean and help with the necessities of my house. Well the rest of the story is a total nightmare.
I was too embarrassed to tell my son and his wife, or a niece that lives out of state, but I did break down and told a neighbor that I've known for over ten years.
Shady Lady no longer lives in Las Vegas. All the charges that she has for fraud are showing as a Georgia resident. She has taken knowledge of all my accounts; investment funds; pass codes and social security number.
These are the following acts she has committed against me:
1. Wrote a check for $3,000 for the earnest money deposit on the house.
2. Transferred $341,319.86 from my family money market account. She had the funds wired out and transferred to a broker where she purchased a house in Las Vegas. Then she flipped it by selling it in less than a month and then ran off to Georgia with the proceeds.
3. My 2006 Dodge Ram® truck that was paid in full with 14,000 miles she went into my file cabinet where I kept the registration papers and my pink slip and took over my trust. She had her son come by the house one day with the keys and just took my truck. He lives in San Diego. I was too shocked and frightened to stop him. As of today, I have registered a report with the police department for the stolen truck.
4. She opened a Citibank® Costco credit card in my name and charges were continuing until I notified Citibank that I did not open the account nor have I made the purchases resulting in over $7,000 in charges.
5. Shady Lady opened a Home Depot® Project loan under my name in Georgia. She had some work done on her house and charged it to the card in my name. I am in the process of contacting Home Depot to let them know the account was not opened by me.
6. Shady Lady used my name to get internet service through Cox® Communications.
7. Shady Lady used my name to get cellular service, a new iPad® and iPhone® through AT&T®.
