Appointment Error Sparks Identity Theft Report

Police in Wall Township, N.J., contacted St. Charles police to report one of their residents, Caroline A. Weinerman, 24, was the victim of identity theft after she received a call from a St. Charles physician’s office to confirm an appointment she had not made for Aug. 8. St. Charles police investigated and found there had been a mixup when an appointment was being scheduled for someone with a slightly similar name. According to the report, the physician’s office inadvertently called up records for Weinerman dating to an urgent care visit to a DuPage County hospital 10-12 years ago by Weinerman.
