Albany, N.Y. - New York State Inspector General's office has announced that an Oswego County-based court stenographer has pled guilty to overbilling insurance companies.
47 year old Laura Hayes of Phoenix, inflated invoices to insurance carriers over the course of several years, resulting in an alleged theft of more than $187,00.
The investigation found that Hayes increased the cost of bills, by simply adding a zero at the end of her invoices.
So a $150 invoice became a $1500 invoice.
She pled guilty to Grand Larceny in the 2nd Degree.
