Homeowner receives more than 600 traffic citations, toll bills addressed to strangers

A News 6 investigation into the mysterious letters has uncovered evidence that numerous vehicles with Florida license plates may have been fraudulently linked to Malone’s home address.
Many of those vehicles have been caught on camera driving through Central Florida and other states committing traffic violations and running up costly bills for unpaid tolls.

I'd be terrified that the cops would show up to raid the house looking for one of these random people.

How disgusting is it that it takes a news story to start an investigation.
Just a regular person complaining to these government departments will not get any help.
This is our horrible government at work.
Criminals win and good honest citizens pay the price.

You can absolutely tell by the way they are driving in these videos that they know the tags and tickets won't be a problem for them...

local investigative journalism- so important for everyone

[princeknight]

...and the post office didn't suspect anything????

[MeerkatManor]

Maybe the post office should be investigated as well for not finding this suspicious

High 5! 🙋🏻‍♀️ To the REPORTER, USPS, FHSMV, and all the other agencies that STEPPED UP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Law enforcement can and have shown up at her door, just imagine a SWAT team kicking in your door for someone who has NEVER lived there.

It could have been worse. I had a felony fugitive warrant issued on me in Miami, Florida, for 2 felony hit and run accidents, fleeing, eluding, and avoiding capture. I have never been to Miami. Someone got a vehicle tag issued under my name and address. I almost went to jail and could have gone to prison for up to 10 years. Luckily, my time clock records and video evidence at my job verified my whereabouts at the time of the incident, and I couldn't have been in two places at once.

What is so amusing. That when you showed up on their door asking questions. A criminal investigation was launched and the letters seems to have stopped. You will never hear anything again.

They won't do anything about it. The person I bought my home from 5 years ago keeps registering her vehicle to my address and racking up tolls and the bills get sent here. We have made numerous complaints and always told that there is nothing anyone can do.

[TheFrankyMoon]

They need to put arrest warrants on all those tags.

[michaelnguyen]

Why are they blurring out the faces of the perpetrators? Makes no sense!

[rededwards]

I think all the vehicles registered to her should be seized, sold and the proceeds given to her....She's the REGISTERED owner. ..simply fix.

[zoftigbeatnik]

Nice to know that criminals have more rights than law abiding citizens and that no one did their do diligence when registering these vehicles.

[michaelolson]

Oh look, the argument against traffic cameras holds true.

I had something similar happen to me in south Florida. Apparently a guy kept running SunPass tolls and the first 5 digits in his license were the same as mine. The last one was obscured so they just guessed at what it was and sent the bills to me. They even got a freeze put on my license renewal. The office responsible for this isn't even in Florida, it's in Georgia. The easiest proof it wasn't me (which they refused to listen to) was the vehicle in their images was a black pickup and mine was a green SUV! They had enough info from my registration to get my address but then ignored the vehicle description!
It took a very long time with many phone calls to finally get to talk to someone in management at the Florida DMV to just look at the pics and registration to get it straightened out. Then it happened all over again 6 months later! Fortunately the woman who fixed it the first time was still there and fixed it right away. They decided to give me a new, different plate number to make sure it never happened again!

So... Nobody at the DMV questioned why there were some probably 20 plus vehicles registered to the same residential address?

The moment he said “the names are Romanian”…..I knew exactly what is going on

I have to give a shout out to WKMG News 6 Orlando -- I've just been reading through some of the comments here and see that you are responding and engaging in conversation. This is RARE. I can count on one hand how many times for YEARS that I've seen news stations from around the entire country bother to do this. It's really important that you're doing this & it shows that you aren't just using YouTube to dump your TV broadcasts for views. Big hugs from Savannah, GA 💕✌️
