Credit Card Scam; Rapper Caught With 50 Credit Cards by baslone: 9:27am On Jul 18, 2013
A couple from Staten Island, New York, have been living an over-the-top
fairy tale for the past five years - but all that changed Wednesday when
the pair were indicted on charges of identity theft and corruption after
bragging about their misbegotten riches on Facebook.

Amanda Zieminski, known by her nickname 'Meme Zee,' worked for eight years as
a nurse at the medical office of South Shore Physicians in Staten Island, where
prosecutors say the 26-year-old stole personal information from patients that
was used to order new debit and credit cards.

Zieminski, her fiance, aspiring rapper Clyde 'C-Money CEO' Forteau, 29, and their
three suspected accomplices allegedly used the misappropriated cards to withdraw
nearly $700,000 in cash, which the couple used to buy high-end jewellery, premium
tickets to sporting events and go on a romantic Disney World vacation.

Clyde even bragged online about sitting in pricey seats next to Jay-Z during a Jets game

A search of Forteau's BMW 7 series car yielded more than 50 credit cards and
more than 20 stolen and fake driver's licenses.

Inside Zieminski's car, police discovered a jacket that her fiancé used to wear
when withdrawing money from ATMs, police said.

The New York Daily News reported that Forteau is being held on $460,000 bail, while
his bride has been booked into jail on $405,000 bail

The other three accomplices-The engaged couple, Jerome Forteau and Abdel Yousef could
face up to 25 years if convicted of identity theft and enterprise corruption. Carmen
Rivera 52, who has been charged only with identity theft, faces up to seven years behind
bars, according to the New York Post.
