Over 100 phones were allegedly sent to Rosanna Lucrecia Cruel Blanco as part of an insurance scam, according to the Department of Justice.

Rosanna Lucrecia Cruel Blanco of the Bronx, New York was arrested and charged Thursday for her alleged involvement in a scheme to fraudulently obtain $200,000 worth of iPhones, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Once the insurance policy was activated, enrollees could claim their phones had been damaged, stolen or lost. The Nashville insurance company would then replace the phone with a new unit. Blanco and co-conspirators would allegedly assume the identities of customers of the telecom company and file false claims in order to obtain the new telephones.

False New York or New Jersey driver's licenses were given to the insurance company. Participants in the scam would give the insurance company shipping information that differed from the addresses presented on the fake identification. In some instances, Blanco allegedly provided different versions of her own name, such as"Lucrecia Rosan," for both billing and shipping information.
