Identity Theft

Identity theft is a crime in which a criminal uses personally identifying information, such as a credit card number or Social Security number, to assume someone else’s identity to commit fraud or other crimes.  Often the victim is left with bills for items not purchased, poor credit records, and sometimes arrests for crimes committed by someone else.  It can take months of work and thousands of dollars to repair the damage caused
