Identity theft, also known as ID theft is a crime in which a criminal obtains key pieces of personal information, such as a Social Security details, a persons driver’s license, or even a student ID card, in order to pose as someone else.  The information can then be used to obtain credit, merchandise, and other services using the victims’ name.   Identity theft can also provide a thief with false credentials for immigration purposes or an array of other applications. One of the biggest problems with identity theft is that very often the crimes committed by the identity theft expert are often attributed to the victim.

There are two main types of identity theft – ‘account takeover’ and ‘true name theft’.  Account takeover identity theft refers to the type of situation where an impostor uses the stolen personal information to gain access to the person’s existing accounts such as credit cards, bank accounts and so on.  Often the identity thief will use the stolen identity to acquire even more credit products by changing your address so that you never see the credit card bills that the thief runs up.
