An Ohio man said someone used his identity to open a Kay
Jewelers account and racked up charges worth $8,100.
The victim told police on Oct. 2 that a credit-monitoring service alerted him to fraudulent activity. Someone opened an account on Aug. 20 at the jewelry store with an $8,600 line of credit.
Nearly all of the line of credit was used, according to the report.
The victim is uncertain which store the purchase was made, or if it was online, but the person that opened the fake account used an old address.
