A Manhattan man has been arrested for allegedly posing as a record company executive to steal people's information.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says beginning in 2013, 29-year-old Sharif King pretended to hire employees for his so-called “Dower Music Entertainment, LLC.”
He then allegedly used their personal information to open credit cards, apply for a loan, steal a vehicle, and cash in on an insurance claim.
King faces a 15-count indictment, including charges of identity theft.
He faces up to 20 years behind bars if convicted.
