Disclaimer: If you are looking for the race card, this man is from Romania.Sergiu Daniel Popa had a six-month visitor visa. It expired but he stayed here anyway. About seven years too long.
But how could he bear parting with the USA? We gave him a free education and all the goodies a person can't get in Romania.
It seems that Mr. Popa opened a "phishing" business here in the United States.
He was just convicted in October of 2008 of the following crimes:
*Selling a "phishing/spamming toolkit" on the Internet for $1,500
*Offering to sell stolen personal identification information
*Creating fictitious credit cards
*Creating fictitious ID cards (including Driver's Licenses)
*Possession of credit card information of 5,889 people
*Stealing $700,000 from credit card accounts
In addition to phishing, Sergui was also able to hijack credit card information from retailers and credit card companies.
Out of the blue we received a letter from the FBI indicating that the evidence against Popa included information on our family. As victims we were entitled to our rights, including information about the various hearings.
What no one was willing to tell us was exactly which information he had on us. Social security number? Credit card numbers? Which ones? Bank account numbers? Fake Driver's License? NO ONE IN THE GOVERNMENT WOULD TELL US. They just advised us to watch our accounts and get a credit report.
Lisa Madigan's office just gave us forms to fill out with the same suggestion to keep an eye on our accounts.
The Elgin Police didn't want to take a report, telling us instead to get a Social Security Statement and check it for accuracy, even after the IRS indicated that our Social Security number had been used on another return. (By the way, it takes five weeks to get that report and new earnings aren't updated until six months into the next year.)
Multiply this mess TENS OF THOUSANDS OF TIMES for all the people who received one of those letters and you can see that this one illegal alien certainly left his mark on society.
His sentencing is pending. I really don't want to know if he is out on the street.
Here's Sergui's Interpol wanted poster. It's kinda neat:
By the way, if you have a story to tell about our lax immigration enforcement, please share it with us at the AFLA website HERE:
