Illegal Immigrant Identity Thief Subject to Deportation

January 6th, 2009 Rob Douglas

Kevin Murphy at The Capital Times reports:

A Madison man who was illegally in the country since 1997 and worked seven years at a Madison motel was sentenced Monday in federal court to time served and is subject to deportation for Social Security fraud and identity theft.

Angel Quintana-Mendez, 32, had worked at the Extended Stay America Hotel, 55 Junction court, since 2001, after illegally entering the U.S. said Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Anderson.

While investigating an unrelated matter at the hotel in April 2007, Madison Police Detective Thomas Colby learned that Quintana-Mendez was working there under an assumed name. A check of the Social Security number Quintana-Mendez was using revealed it was issued to a California man who didn’t know it was being using fraudulently, said Anderson.

    This is not the first time that Wisconsin has had problems with Identity Theft, and information being put at risk.

    Really if I didnt have family and business here, I would seriously think about leaving this state.

    Has anyone really looked at charging the hotel? probably not, if they had done a proper check on the SS# then they would have gotten a no match letter.

    I would hope that someone at that hotel has looked at the red flag rules, as they are a service provider and as a business that deals with CC on a daily basis I would think that they would need to implement something to protect their clients.
