Lower Burrell Man Sentenced for Fraudulent Use of Neighbor’s Credit Cards
In April 2019, Jonathan Fry, age 44, from Lower Burrell, Pennsylvania, obtained and used an elderly neighbor’s credit cards and personal identification information, including the neighbor’s date of birth and social security number, in order to make fraudulent and unauthorized transactions. This included obtaining a vehicle loan and insurance, opening accounts, and applying for other credit cards in the victim’s name, ultimately causing losses of more than $40,000.
Assistant United States Attorney Brendan T. Conway prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
Acting United States Attorney Rivetti commended the United States Postal Inspection Service for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Fry.
Outcome:
Defendant was found guilty and sentenced to three years of probation
