Download the FTC's facts for consumers called
"Take Charge: Fighting Back".
"I first was notified that someone had used my Social Security number for their taxes in February 2004. I also found out that this person opened a checking account, cable and utility accounts, and a cell phone account in my name. I'm still trying to clear up everything and just received my income tax refund after waiting four to five months. Trying to work and get all this cleared up is very stressful. "
From a consumer's complaint to the FTC, July 9, 2004
It can and does happen. According to the Federal Trade Commission, you may not even know someone is impersonating you unless you notice that you're not receiving bills or other mail, you get credit cards for which you did not apply, you're denied credit for no apparent reason, or you suddenly start getting calls from debt collectors or companies about things you didn't buy.
What's sad is that this type of crime can be incredibly easy, since we give out small pieces of personal information every day. How many people may have access to your bank or credit card account numbers? Your Social Security number? Your name, address, and phone numbers? Once a thief has that information, they may file a change of address with your credit cards or open new accounts, get cell phone service, make electronic money transfers, buy a car in your name, get a drivers license with your name on it (but their picture), or even give police your name when they are arrested. Oh, and don't think for a minute that the thief plans on paying off any of those bills. In fact, they may even declare bankruptcy in your name.
It can take a victim months or even years and a lot of money to clean up the mess a thief leaves behind on a good name and credit record. And according to the Federal Trade Commission, "In the meantime, victims may lose job opportunities, be refused loans, education, housing or cars, or even get arrested for crimes they didn't commit."
