Authorities have finally tracked down a Bay Area restaurant owner accused of running a credit card scam. The ABC7 News I-Team caught up with him nine months ago. He didn't like it, so he took off running.
They showed you how Phau Lam was still billing his former customers' credit cards, months after his restaurant had shut down. Authorities now say the scam was even bigger than was first reported by the I-Team.
Fifty-one-year-old Phau Lam is in San Francisco County Jail, charged with 32 counts, all felonies, in a credit card scam.
District Attorney Kamala Harris says this is one of the most severe cases of identity theft she's ever seen.
