Texas Woman Charged With Fraud After Allegedly Using Rockets Owner's Information

A Texas woman was charged with fraudulent use of identifying information and using a false statement to obtain a credit card after she attempted to use Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta's social security number to open a new line of credit, local police said Wednesday.

Per charging documents, 27-year-old Stephanie Hunter told investigators that she had purchased Fertita's information online and applied for a bank credit card, among other items.

Hunter allegedly used Fertitta's name, social security number and other personal information on the application. However, she listed her own address and phone for her application.
