Three people face a federal indictment charging them with defrauding USAA out of more than $1.5 million in a three-year-long identity-theft scheme targeting service members. The suspects are charged with using the identities of military personnel to obtain loans through USAA, the insurance, banking and investment company that serves service members, veterans and their families.
