TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -
A Florida man set up fake job interviews and collected urine samples from potential applicants so he could access their Social Security numbers, bank information and other personal data, according to police.
Gerald Howard Washington was arrested on charges of criminal use of personal identification information and organized communications fraud after Tallahassee police say he stole personal information from multiple job seekers.
Authorities said Wednesday that Washington posted online ads claiming he was hiring for 1,100 Tallahassee-based jobs. He set up a temporary office in the state capital and personally met with many of the job seekers. He also accessed their Social Security numbers, bank information and collected a $25 application fee, according to police.
Authorities said Washington told applicants they were hired and gave them a start date, even though the jobs did not exist.
