Two Fresno men get federal prison in ID fraud case

Two Fresno residents were sentenced Monday for their involvement in an identity theft ring that had over 250 victims and $1.2 million in attempted fraud, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

Daniel Miranda, 26, was sentenced to seven years, 10 months in federal prison, and Roberto Martinez Jr., 34, was sentenced to three years in prison.

According to federal court documents, from about June 2012 to January 2014 the two men, along with two others, opened credit card accounts in the victims’ names or used existing accounts to buy goods and services in the Fresno area, Modesto and in Riverside County.
