Caregiver accused of ID fraud in getting residents’ info
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire caregiver at a long-term care facility has been accused of getting personal identification information for four elderly people without their permission and posing as at least two of them to open financial accounts.
Christina Lariviere, 35, of Bow, was arrested Friday on eight counts of identity fraud, the attorney general’s office said.
The charges allege that last summer, Lariviere obtained Social Security numbers, driver’s identification and birth dates from the four, who lived at the Londonderry facility and ranged in age from 87 to 100.
The charges also allege that Lariviere posed as two of the residents to open credit and financial accounts in their names.
Lariviere is expected to be arraigned in the Rockingham County Superior Court next week. It wasn’t immediately known if she had a lawyer, and a phone number couldn’t be found for her, The Associated Press reported.
