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.
