NEW YORK — Identity theft is bad enough if it happens once. But Maria Chen was a victim twice.

Chen said her identity was stolen online and the suspect literally took everything. “He had withdrawn all of my money out of the bank and opened up credit cards in my name.”

Chen’s bank alerted her. When she found out her money was gone and her credit destroyed and she was angry. She says it’s still messed up.

U.S Postal Inspector Carla Menendez said since the thief still had her Chen’s personal information, he was able to call in with her information and essentially can get access to her credit card account. Postal Inspectors say they can add themselves as users, get their own card with their name on it, and start charging on your account.
