Identity Theft Deterrent
Has anybody dealt with identity theft. Its lookin like somebody may have used my SS# to claim me on their taxes. This is why I am not getting a stimulus check
I have been a victim of ID theft. If this is the case, you need help! Most ID Theft protection plans only cover credit theft (the easiest) when there are actually 3 more types social security, criminal, and medical. Here is a link to the ID theft protection plan I use, it covers all 4 types and is the best I know of: http://BestIDTheftProtection.info
I hope this helps and do not delay in getting it fixed, there are time limits that may keep somethings from being reversed if you wait too long to report it.
I am a bussiness major and am taking a computer class and just realized I have an assignment due by tomorrow, I need to write a short essay about computer crimes/ identity theft from information that I can find on-line. Anyone know any good sites to get some good statistics or stories?

The first three look pretty good. Also look for ‘phishing’
I have a question in regards to identity theft…
I knew someone who was a victim and they never found out who stole his identity. How do the FBI and police find the theif? What if their smart and use a different mailbox/phones computers to actually steal identity. I guess this is a sad question in regards that milllions get their identity stolen per year. bye
If your identity is stolen, unless you willingly give information to aid the thief (i.e. password, pin number, etc.), the banks are responsible so don’t worry. That’s why there’s so much publicity about it. They have to fork out!
How do you know if identity theft has taken place
would you start getting bills in you name. Just how do you know. Theirs been someone emailing me claiming there is money in an African account and they just need my name, address and telephone number
How do I get these people to stop emailing me. spam doesnt help at all
Do not ever, ever, ever give your personal information to one of those scam artists who tell you there is money in an account for you, who wants you to help him move funds, who wants to give you your lottery winnings (you never bought a ticket) or who says your dead namesake left you a gazillion bucks and all they need is your info to give it to you. You will get taken for everything they can get their hands/computers on. These are crooks who sit in a cyber cafe in Nigeria all day, every day and try out different schemes on people like us until they can get one to work. As far as the e-bills go, you should look up your states Attorney Generals’ web site and contact the AG for help.
We are moving and my car was broken into. They stole my wallet, which had my sons’ social security cards, and my old one with my maiden name and my new one. They also ended up with my routing and account number, but I closed the account. They had my ID too, but that was mailed back to me from across the state. I am afraid they will open accounts in my sons’ names, since they have all the information needed. How do I file a identity theft/fraud alert for free?
You have to write or call each of the three credit history services. They each should have a fraud hotline. You can request a fraud alert placed on each of the SSNs in question.

I have look across google and other sources, however, I cannot find information on the characteristics of cyber identity theft. All I find is cyber terrorism which is different from identity theft. Can someone help me find some creditable information on the characteristic of cyber identity theft please?
Identity theft on line occurs in various ways. Here are a few possibilities.
1) Going on line at a unencrypted wireless hotspot where others on the same network can see your transmissions
2) Logging into unknown networks that can be run by hackers who are there to steal your information. This could include open proxies or free wireless networks set up for this purpose. Many times a Identity thief will set up a wireless network with a name similar to the one you expect ot see. Like the name of the coffee shop you are at with a slightly different name. Most people won’t notice the difference and many will log into the hacker network instead of the actual one provided by the establishment.
3) Responding to spam emails that link to web sites that look like legitimate banking or credit card sites and providing your information. This is referred to as phishing. An example you get an official looking email from what looks like Pay-Pal saying you need to log into your account for some reason. You click on the link which takes to to a look alike of the actual pay-pal site. You enter your user name and password. It comes back and says you entered your password wrong. It then redirects you to the real Pay-Pal login page and you log in thinking nothing about it. However the hacker has your login information and then goes in and drains your account or buys all kinds of stuff in your name.
Sadly, crooks can get away with such fraudulent acts. I mean, what seems to compel these knuckleheads to commit identity theft? Eventually, I hope technology can find ways to catch these crooks red-handed.
What’s even more appalling is that a victim can be falsely accused as the bad guy, and identity theft can get away with it.
Easy access to names, addresses, web addresses, credit card numbers, birth certificates, and social security numbers are all parts of identity theft. Also, computer hackers can get masses that information. People need to be extremely careful about what they throw in their trash and what they carry with them and what they may post online.
Law enforcement is getting better at catching these thieves, but it is still difficult all the way around.
By the way, not many people seem to know that they can get a special endorsement on their tenant/homeowners insurance for identity theft, and that it is NOT expensive.
I’ve recently been told that a criminal can use your photo (and just your photo, no other info) to steal your identity, and I refuse to believe it.
How would a criminal use your photo to commit identity theft?
they can’t steal identity with just that. They could however take your photo and put it on say myspace and claim that is them or that is their significant other… but that’s as far as it can go.
I actually have a friend that took a photo with a coworker and claims they are dating, but they aren’t. It’s stupid. I tease him for being so lame all the time.
I have been thinking about this a lot and was wondering why if someone commits fraud against an organisation(in the context of banking or credit card companies) is it seen as identity theft. The inmplication is, I assume, that it is the individuals responsibility and not the organisations.
Identity theft means that someone has stolen someone other’s identity to pretend to be someone else. It can include stealing social security numbers to obtain credit or stealing the whole identity(identity cloning) to commit a crime.
Banking card companies have a set of information they can use to verify that the person they are currently serving is the one he claims to be. This information can be obtained illegally and this is why this is called identity theft.
I have two identity theft accounts. Someone use my social security number to apply for SBC and Direct TV. I never receive bills from them. When I found out about these accounts, they already shown as collection on my credit report. These have negative effect on my credit. I called up the collection agency for SBC and told them this is not my account. They are not willing to remove me. I have called up Federal Trade Commission and reported these. They couldn’t do anything about this. I have try to consult free legal aids, they didn’t make any reply!!! How can I remove these identity theft accounts?
Contact the local police authorities & then take out a civil suite against the company that refuse to make the specific amendments. One letter from your lawyer might be enough for the company to get their butts into gear.

The first thing to do would definatly be to make a report with the police so that an investigation can be started.
Good luck to you.
In Australia, my ex did this to have a phone connected so he could call overseas & not have to pay the bill. The bill ended up being over AU$4,000. He eventually was caught because the poor person whos name he was using contacted the police & they went down the right channels to find out whos name was on the leasing contract for that particular address. Keep at it because you should not have to deal with this & persistance (as trying as it may get at times) will prevail.
I will prey for you
