Practical Advice: Identity Theft
In the manner of Practical Advice
on Identity Theft
Recently I have heard two personal narratives of people having their identities stolen. In both of these stories the identity thefts were perpetrated by relatives. I haven’t done wide-ranging research to see how common this, but I would imagine that these aren’t unique cases. On some level, it is easier for a relative to steal your identity because they know you better. They can fill-in details and answer questions when pressed. Recall, desperation is often the root of motive.
