TRENTON — A Trenton woman filed a police report to help address an ongoing identity theft problem that has been impacting her life for more than three years.
She said she first discovered a problem in March 2023 when she couldn’t log into a Michigan Secretary of State website to renew her driver’s license. She found a new email had been added to the account that had a Taylor mailing address.
In November 2024 she was unable to open a DraftKings digital sports entertainment and gaming company account because the previously used email had already established an account with her personal information.
In December 2024 she discovered that the same identity thief had established a MotorCity Casino account using her information and the same email account, which was canceled.
Recently, the woman checked her credit report and discovered two other suspicious items: a $623 item for “New Jersey Emergency Services” and a $3528 transaction with “Transportation Alliance Bank.”
