A Maryland woman will serve time for fraudulently using personal information of employees at the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. and Department of Veterans Affairs.
The Department of Justice claims that Allise Jones gained access to personally identifiable information of Freddie Mac and VA employees
back in October 2012.
With the information in hand, Jones, 29, along with co-conspirators, allegedly created identification documents and credit accounts. The alleged crimes continued until April 2014.
Data on more than 2,000 Freddie employees and over 100 VA employees were obtained.
With the bogus identifications and accounts, Jones is accused of defrauding financial institutions, retailers and others by purchasing goods and services.
Among the alleged purchases were
plastic surgery, expensive jewelry and travel.
Jones, of Lanham, Maryland, was
convicted by a Jury in February.
On Friday, she was sentenced to five-and-a-half years in prison.
