Post-It Notes are a great invention, aren’t they? They allow you to leave helpful reminders anywhere you work. They provide a quick place to jot down a phone number or some notes. They provide police with information on identity theft.
A government employee who stole identities from their job left their identities on Post-It notes all around his home, according to the New York Daily News.
He used the identities to rack up more than $200,000 in fraudulent credit card charges. Was he trying to organize his own government bailout?
He had more than 2,000 Social Security numbers written on Post-It notes all over his home. Ordinary people just use wallpaper.
