ID Thieves Troll Evacuee Center

According to an AP story, three former residents of New Orleans are being held without bail in Mississippi pending identity theft charges. According to Jones County Sheriff Larry Dykes, the three posed as workers from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and were asking victims for their names, Social Security numbers, and other personal data. They were caught at a large auditorium called the Magnolia Center in Laurel, MS, which is housing over 1700 evacuees.
