“Using ListSource, a direct-marketing company, he’d collect mortgage information on married couples with million-dollar homes. They qualified for high HELOCs. He’d find lease or loan papers through public databases and pay sites, then use Photoshop to grab homeowners’ signatures off documents. Next, he’d build a profile of the victim by paying for a background search through skip-tracing sites. That would give him birth dates, Social Security numbers, names of relatives, previous addresses, employment histories, and more. To get a mother’s maiden name he would use Ancestry.com.”

.....Tobechi Onwuhara, 27, a brilliant, pug-faced visionary would find lease or loan papers through public databases and pay sites, then use Photoshop to grab homeowners’ signatures off documents.

Onwuhara’s background is equally complex, full of research and learning along with a history of crime. Onwuhara worked for Capital One after graduating college. There he studied how banks worked and what documents they possessed. Soon he started creating credit cards and licenses under actual names. He was arrested in Texas for credit card fraud in 2002 three times. From then on his life revolved around getting caught and relocating. All of the people who helped him along the way have been indicted and pleaded guilty, yet, the article states the FBI claim to not know his whereabouts at this moment, and he has a $25,000 bounty on his head.

Onwuhara favored True Religion jeans and Ed Hardy shirts........and $100,000 diamond-encrusted Audemars Piguet watches...
