While struggling North Carolinians waited for their unemployment checks, the Division of Employment Security paid out almost $9 million in jobless benefits to identity thieves and others collected money fraudulently too, including an Indian Trail man.

Federal prosecutors said 51-year-old Joseph Ransome recently pleaded guilty to wire fraud. The U.S. Attorney's Office reports Ransome applied for more than $150,000 in unemployment benefits in multiple states using his own name and social security number.

How about this twist on the subject: North Carolina DES instructed me to commit fraud by claiming UI compensation with I never physically worked. I'd be happy to share the unbelievably fun screwed up situation caused by both my former employer and NCDES with you.
