A real estate agent called KPRC 2 in April because he realized his client’s home had been rented using a stolen identity. The renter has been charged and is wanted on three felony counts.

Christina Antonette Dias, 28, is accused of tampering with government records, fraudulently using or possessing identification information, and making false statements for the purpose of obtaining property or credit.

According to court documents, Dias rented the house on Vander Rock Drive in the Everett Point neighborhood for $2,500 a month in late March.

But just days after the lease was signed, the realtor called KPRC 2 and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office because he realized the house had been rented using the stolen identity of a California woman.

“Credit was clean, background was clean, eviction record was clean, criminal record was clean. Everything was clean,” said the broker, who wished to remain anonymous.

Dias and a male tenant fled the home when officers arrived that day, leaving the front door open and unlocked. The realtor and the owner’s family then invited KPRC 2’s cameras into the home.

We discovered stacks of designer boxes and documents scattered throughout the house, including bank, insurance and passport cards in various names. We also found tens of thousands of dollars worth of checks, including some IRS checks in other names, and a printer with blank check paper.

“I was shocked,” said the broker.

According to records, investigators executed a search warrant for the home on April 16 and seized the printer and an iPad.

Other items from the house were turned over to the sheriff’s office as evidence. Among the items, according to documents, was a Massachusetts identification card with Dias’ real name, photo and date of birth.

“It’s like putting together a puzzle,” said Francisco Montes, deputy investigator in charge of the HCSO’s Financial Crimes Unit.

The California woman told investigators she had received notices about new credit checks and a new credit check for a lease, but she had not lived in Texas for 10 years, according to court documents.

According to court records, her name was used on a Texas identification card with Dias’ photo on the rental application.

“(Dias) moves around a lot, to different states, and she’s not there for long,” Montes said.

His investigation also revealed that Dias appears under a different name on social media. On a Facebook profile he is seen as “Anna Delvey”.

This is the pseudonym of convicted fraudster Anna Sorokin, who went to prison for posing as a German heiress and defrauding hotels and banks of hundreds of thousands of dollars, inspiring the Netflix series “Inventing Anna.”

Someone who knew Dias in the past said that this was a sign that the alleged fraudster was hiding right under our noses.

“We never know what they’re thinking, but having a social media handle with that person makes it interesting,” Montes said.

Dias did not respond to KPRC 2’s request for comment via her Anna Delvey Facebook page.

The address listed in her court records is not her home address and never was, but KPRC 2 has learned it belongs to a former acquaintance.

The HCSO said this type of identity theft is not uncommon and urged real estate agents to use online tools to conduct thorough background checks.

Montes said everyone should regularly monitor or freeze their loans.

“These victims only realize in retrospect that they are victims,” he said.

Investigators said Dias may be involved in other types of fraud, but no further charges are currently being brought against her.

Any information regarding her whereabouts should be reported to HCSO or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
