Las Vegas Resident Sentenced in Identity Theft Scheme

3/8/2020

Las Vegas resident Josiah O. Ntekume was sentenced last week to 65 months in prison for his role in an identity theft tax fraud scheme. Ntekume filed false tax returns using stolen identities. He was found with roughly 250 prepaid debit cards from victims of identity theft. These prepaid cards held over $200,000 in fraudulent tax refunds.
Ntekume pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft, wire fraud, and theft of government property. In addition to his 65 month sentence, he will serve three years of supervised release and pay roughly $221,000 in restitution.

This case highlights the ongoing threat of identity theft to Las Vegas consumers. If you believe you are a victim of identity theft, you should contact a Las Vegas identity theft lawyer. Lawsuits can be filed at no out-of-pocket expense because federal law requires the creditors and credit bureaus to cover your attorney’s fees and costs if you are successful. In addition to paying for your attorney’s fees and costs, you may receive compensation for actual damages, including reimbursement for improper loan denials and loss of credit limits, and statutory damages of up to $1,000 per defendant.

If you need a credit specialist who can increase your credit scores, delete hard inquiries, input good tradelines and much more then email < JAMIEHACKING99 @ GMAIL * COM > is the team for the job. They do credit repairs of different country types. Conventional methods take at least 2-3 years to take effect but with them in a month you’ll get
results.

Special thanks to HACK VANISH, a professional hacker I’ve been hiring for the past 2 years because, I find him to be an outstanding hacker who has aided me in various hacking related issues, ranging from fixing my poor FICO credit score of about 437 TransUnion, 462 Equifax to 802 plus excellent score, tracking my cheating husband’s phone and currently has helped me recover my lost crypto funds from an online scam investment I recently ventured into, I must confess he is the best, quite brilliant, ever since I discovered him through a positive review I saw on Wallet Hub and reached out to him via Email: HACKVANISH @ GMAIL. COM, and Phone: +1(747) 293-8514, to which he responded in less than 10mins, I have never regretted working with him, he’s been quite helpful and highly efficient.

My credit score was in the low 500’s before I found JerryLink Credit Group. They were able to remove the negative items (Judgment, collections, inquiries, card debt) that were dragging me down and allowed me to purchase a new car for my family with a score over 800 in just a week! I think Mr. Jerry and his team are currently the best in terms of credit repairs. You can reach out to them via mail: JERRYLINKGROUP at GMAIL dot COM, thank me later.
