A Bakersfield man is heading to prison for committing wire fraud and identification theft.\u00a0<\/p>\n
U.S. District Judge Jennifer Thurston sentenced Kyle Matthew Lisman, 30, to five years in prison for wire fraud, possessing stolen mail and aggravated identity theft.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Driving the news: From January 2023 to July 2023, Lisman stole identities to defraud victims by using the name, social security number and other information to fraudulently obtain a car at a Bakersfield dealership.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lisman paid $40,000 to purchase the car on the dealership\u2019s website under the victim\u2019s identity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He presented the dealership with a fake driver\u2019s license created from the victim\u2019s actual license with Lisman\u2019s picture.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Go deeper: Along with car dealership fraud, Lisman also fraudulently caused other people\u2019s mail to be forwarded to his home by submitting fake change of address forms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In September 2023, Lisman had several credit cards, checks and debit cards in other people\u2019s names.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He opened credit and debit cards in other people\u2019s names and used those cards to withdraw thousands of dollars\u2019 worth of cash and purchases.\u00a0<\/p>\n
