Your friend sounds like they are not telling you the truth, because applying for a loan requires a social security number and your friend would have noticed being given their own. Even if your friend was given information that was not hers, that’s not any better. To use someone else’s information to apply for a loan is identity theft and wire fraud. That would be why the fake company had your friend do all of it, because they didn’t want their systems or IPs linked to the federal offenses they were doing, and instead they conned your friend into committing the crime and taking the fall, because if the company packs up and vanishes after the payday, the story your friend gives to the Feds is going to sound like something they probably hear all the time “people who used fake names and a fake company that vanished tricked me into committing wire fraud I swear it wasn’t me” Your story smells fishy and not realistic imo, but that’s because I’ve known my SSN since I started working and filling out w4s at 14. I’d notice if someone gave me my own ssn to apply for a loan. I’d also never go apply for a real loan using my info or anyone else’s for some company asking me to. What other crimes did your friend commit on behalf of the mystery company?
