Criminals are using stolen social security numbers to file false unemployment claims

Filed under: — adam @ 2:32 pm

“File a false unemployment claim and you can receive $400 per week for 26 weeks. Do it for 100 Social Security numbers and you’ve made a quick $1.04 million. It’s tough to make crime pay much better than that.”
