Officials are searching for a woman they say stole a Gwinnett County
woman's identity to get a job at Equifax.

Tonia Leach said her identity was stolen by a woman who worked at a major
U.S. credit reporting agency and investigators believe the identity thief
is in the Gwinnett County area.

Leach first discovered that someone had stolen her identity after her
credit report showed that Manpower and Equifax had conducted background
checks on her. Since Leach had never applied for jobs there, she knew what
happened.

Authorities said a woman stole Leach’s name, Social Security number and
date of birth to get a job at Manpower, a temp agency. It was there the
woman was also able to get a job at Equifax, a credit reporting agency.

Quoting Dr. Identity: "For a company dedicated to providing accurate
information on lenders, Equifax's own hiring practices seem a bit lax."
