CINCINNATI (WKRC) – A Cincinnati woman has been sentenced to two years in prison for orchestrating a scheme to defraud an insurance company of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Erlisa King, 37, pleaded guilty to wire fraud in February. Authorities said she submitted 247 applications for rental insurance for apartments where she did not reside. In total, King received more than $212,000 in fraudulent refunds.
When King was arrested, her cell phone contained several bank applications for lines of credit and Target debit cards, as well as the stolen identities of several individuals, officials said.
