A major identity theft and fraud ring has been busted after allegedly stealing nearly $1 million. The Colorado Attorney General’s Office says the elaborate scam set up phony businesses and then created employees for the businesses who filed for unemployment benefits.
Zanthia Woodard, 46, was the target of a CBS4 Investigation in 2014. The Attorney General’s Office calls Woodard the alleged mastermind of the fraud ring that cheated federal and state agencies out of nearly $1 million.
