A Dutchess County couple accused of carrying out a credit card fraud and identify theft scheme are facing numerous federal charges, according to the US Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors say Opeyemi Olujobi and Jennie Davidson used stolen information to falsely identify themselves as cardholders and access over 200 credit card accounts.
They allegedly changed the mailing addresses listed on the accounts, reported cards missing and had new copies sent to them.
Officials say the couple used those cards to rack up over half a million dollars of purchases over a two-year period.
Olujobi and Davidson were arrested in Poughkeepsie on Tuesday.
The charges against them include conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, conspiracy to commit access device fraud, access device fraud and aggravated identity theft.
Davidson also faces an additional charge for money laundering, according to authorities.
