Social Insecurity

By Jerry Danzig

On the morning of Friday, March 29, a 39-year-old man living on West 86th Street reported that he received statements from several stores claiming that he owed money on accounts he had not opened. The man stated that his Social Security number had been used to open the accounts and unauthorized charges had appeared on these accounts totaling $6,465. The man closed all the accounts, and at the time of the police report was still waiting to receive all the pertinent account statements.
