ALLEN PARK — A local businessman reported July 20 that an identity thief used his business information to open a Verizon Wireless service account and to purchase three cell phones, running up nearly $1,200 in account charges. 

The victim said the account was opened April 2, and when he received an initial Verizon bill at the end of May, he contested the charges. However, as fraudulent charges continued to accumulate, he learned that he had to file a police report to initiate an investigation and to have the charges billed to him dismissed.
