A woman pleaded guilty to Social Security fraud for obtaining loans and going to Southwest Baptist University by using the stolen identity of her estranged daughter.
Laura A. Oglesby, 48, pleaded guilty to one count of Social Security fraud and agreed to pay at least $17,000 in restitution to Southwest Baptist University for obtaining $9,400 in federal student loans, $5,920 in Pell Grants and over $2,000 for books and fees, the Department of Justice said in a Monday statement.. Oglesby’s attorney, Michelle Nahon Moulder, did not immediately respond to an NBC News request for comment.
Schwein said a Jonesboro, Arkansas, police detective alerted him that a fraud investigation subject had fled their state from a "full U.S. extradition warrant" and may be living in Missouri under an assumed identity. “She had put together a full false ID — she had gotten a Missouri ID and gotten a valid social security number, the whole bit,” Schwien said.she “obtained lines of credit, obtained funds from multiple colleges, and a drivers license" which she used under the name of her daughter.
“Usually, the ones I see, people are trying to assume an ID for financial gain, like credit card fraud.”
