The Lack of LifeLock puts Bussiness Owner in the Poorhouse

January 2, 2009 – 3:16 pm

Linda Lee David, out of Bridgeport, took her family on vacation to Niagara Falls on her boss’s credit cards. Linda’s boss, Oreste Speciale, had no idea what was happening to him and his credit. Linda David even documented the trip with a little video camera that she had bought for the trip. The camera would later be used in evidence against her.

Linda David had previously been convicted for check fraud after stealing social security numbers of Black Rock Yacht Club co-workers. She served 3 months in prison with 3 years of supervised release. While Linda was still on supervised release she stole the identity of her boss. Linda was sentenced to 4 years in prison for stealing Oreste’s identity. This is more than the standard sentence for identity theft. The judge added time to the sentence stating that she didn’t believe that David had learned her lesson from the last conviction. David was still on supervised release when she stole Oreste’s identity.

Oreste Speciale’s credit is essentially ruined after Linda applied for eight different credit cards in his name. Running up bills on all of them buying gas, groceries, movies, toys, clothing, flowers and gift cards. David didn’t stop there she also bought a mini camcorder, 42” flat screen TV and a new laptop. Oreste didn’t just lose his credit he also lost the ability to provide for his family. Because of the damage done to his credit he could no longer buy items on credit needed for his business. He had to pay all of his business expenses upfront. Oreste had to move his family into the office because he could no long afford to pay rent. They have a newborn and have been forced to live in the attic space without heat.

Identity theft not only affects your business and your credit but all aspects of your life. If Oreste would have been a member of LifeLock none of this would have probably happened. This is exactly what LifeLock is designed to help prevent. Linda David would have attempted to apply for a credit card, in Oreste’s name, and the credit bureau would have called him to confirm the credit card application. The identity theft would have stopped before it even begun.
