Illegal alien with stolen Social Security number racks up $787,000 in loans

Is this how the foreclosure crisis started? An illegal alien in Arizona was arrested after buying three houses and two vehicles with loans he received using a stolen Social Security number. As a matter of fact, Adan Betancio Guerrero, 36, tallied more than $787,000 in debt with that stolen ID.

Guerrero told police he is in the U.S. illegally. He also told police they should be out there busting "real criminals" instead of family men like himself, court records show.

"I was floored, couldn't believe it," said the victim, Tamara Leeson of Mirana.

Leeson is the real owner of the Social Security number. Authorities started looking into the case when her credit union started processed the illegal's request for a loan for a $33,000 truck and noticed that they already had a customer with the same Social Security number. They contacted their customer, and learned her identity had been stolen.

Leeson said she checked her credit regularly since she turned 18 in 2001 and even bought her own house last year, but no red flags ever went up.

Arizona detectives obtained bank records, loan records, and other records on Guerrero. Investigators says that others could have been victimized by Guerrero.

  2. Ahora se ha dictado sentencia por un juez, la "JUSTICIA AMERICANA" ha comprobado que no hya perjuicio alguno en contra de la dueña del seguro, por el contrario se favoreció su record con el trabajo de un hombre cuyo unico pecado ha sido trabajar y trabajar mucho en un país ajeno lleno de gente genofobica, razista. Me pregunto: Donde estan todos esos que salieron a señalar con el dedo? A donde se fueron? Les resulta dificil pensar que un latino indocumentado pueda a a base de trabajo lograr lo que muchos americanos no han logrado en su propio país. Entiendo su temor y por los extrajeros, que harían con un Adan Betancio con situación legal dentro de su país? Temblar, de ver como el trabajo de un hombre honrado y solo eso puede lograr la estabilidad economica que el logro sin daños a terceros. Ustedes señores no lo harían ni en el mejor de sus sueños. Pero Ustedes si son buenos seres humanos, que no se tientan la mano para disparar sus armas como furtivos cazadores de inmigrandes alabemos su "grandeza de espiritú" y su mediocridad mental.....
