Sasha Grey opens up about one of her identity theft cases
Earlier today, a Reddit user going by the name u/-eDgAR- bought up a post on the LivestreamFail subreddit. It features a part of one of Sasha Grey’s latest Twitch streams. This clip showcases Sasha speaking up when someone made a license using her official name, registered with the US government. Moreover, this person also had fake credit cards and a car, all of which were registered in Sasha’s name.
Sasha isn’t very confident about when she exactly found out about this mess. However, she has a rough memory of it; as the streamer expressed, she discovered it all at the time of purchasing a car. Probably because that’s when the bank analyses your credit.
Here’s what Marina said, “I had somebody have a license with my government name on it. Ran a car with fake credit cards, not turn the car back in….and like wrack of all these charges. I don’t even know how I, I don’t remember how I found that one out. You always find out on accident too, which is messed up.”
