Prosecutors said the Essex County man used fake and stolen identifications to file the claims and sell the devices overseas.

A Newark resident admitted to defrauding several telecommunications and insurance companies of over $9 million in fraudulently obtained goods, U.S. District Attorney Philip R. Sellinger announced Wednesday.

For six years, between June 2013 and June 2019, Bengara was involved in a widespread scheme to use stolen and fake identifications to submit false insurance claims for lost, stolen and damaged cell phones in order to obtain replacement devices and then sell them in other countries, documents show. Bengara and his co-conspirators also filed false claims for other electronic devices besides cell phones.
