Identity Theft: Iosif Florea Sentenced For His Part In a Phishing Scam That Impacted Alabama Residents

Phoenix, Arizona Man Sentenced to 32 Months for His Role in an Alabama Phishing Scam Montgomery, Alabama- On Wednesday, February 13, 2019, Iosif Florea, 42, of Phoenix, Arizona, was sentenced to 32 months in federal prison for his part in a “phishing” scam that impacted Alabama residents, announced United States Attorney Louis V.
