Meet Deborah Oguntoyinbo — accused of being a professional and prolific identity thief
A CBC News investigation has uncovered details about a Toronto woman police call a prolific identity thief who has left a trail of shattered lives and destroyed credit profiles.
Police investigating theft of identities of at least 20 Toronto-area women in the past 2 years alone
...
York Region Police allege Oguntoyinbo tried to rent the condo using the name Natalia Bozic, and have charged her with using a forged certified cheque and a false identity.
Bozic, 24, a self-employed esthetician from Mississauga, Ont., says that someone used her personal information to get into her bank account, apply for loans and credit cards, change all her passwords and wreak havoc on her life.
She says she first noticed something was amiss when she couldn't log in to her RBC online banking account this past summer.
"It was June 10th, and it told me to call the phone number listed. So I called them, and they told me to come into the bank."
The bank told her $1,200 was stolen from her account.
That was just the beginning.
"They investigated and they put my account on freeze," she said, and assured her "nobody can put money in and nobody can take money out."
Yet, two days later someone walked into an RBC branch on Don Mills Rd. in Toronto and passed a teller a fake driver's licence with Bozic's name and correct licence number.
Bozic said the RBC teller issued the person a new bank card linked to Bozic's bank account.
Bozic believes the bank also provided the person her social insurance number.
That's when the alleged crimes became more brazen and widespread.
Someone "reset passwords, reset security questions, reset my phone to a new phone number, created a new email address so I don't get notified my [banking] password changed."
Twice more, money was drained from Bozic's account. Some was sent to a bank account in Vancouver. In all, about $4,000 went missing, according to bank records.
Over the next five days, someone using Bozic's driver's licence and SIN applied for at least 20 bank loans, car loans and credit cards from financial institutions across the country.
On June 17, someone accessed her Fido mobile phone account. Her phone number was changed, new phones were purchased, and Bozic was billed $2,000.
Someone also changed the passwords to her social media accounts.
Then, on June 19, Bozic received a letter from Scotiabank.
"It said, congratulations, I had leased a Range Rover," she said.
"Well, I was just thinking, what's next?" Bozic said. "They have my SIN number for life, they have my driver's licence for life. They have all the stuff to keep it going."
