IDENTITY THEFT What is Identity Theft? How can someone steal your identity? By co-opting your name, Social Security number, credit card number, or some other piece of your personal information for his or her own use. In short, identity theft occurs when someone appropriates your personal information without your knowledge to commit fraud or theft. Here are some ways that identity thieves work: They open a new credit card account, using your name, date of birth, and Social Security number. When they use the credit card and don't pay the bills, the delinquent account is reported on your credit report. They call your credit card issuer and, pretending to be you, change the mailing address on your credit card account. Then, your imposter runs up charges on your account. Because your bills are being sent to the new address, you may not immediately realize there's a problem. They establish cellular phone service in your name. They open a bank account in your name and write bad checks on that account. These schemes may involve changing account information, creating fictitious transactions between unsuspecting parties, or preparing checks drawn on the valid account and that are presented using false identification. Ways to Prevent ID Theft Minimize Your Risk In the course of a busy day, you may write a check at the grocery store, charge tickets to a ball game, rent a car, mail your tax returns, call home on your cell phone, order new checks, or apply for a credit card. Everyday transactions that you may never give a second thought to are an identity thief's bread and butter. Each of these transactions requires the sharing of personal information: your bank and credit card account numbers; your income, Social Security number and name, address and phone numbers, to name a few. While you can't prevent identity theft, you can minimize your risk by managing your personal information wisely.

CNET tech sites: Price comparisons Product reviews Tech news Downloads ... Perspectives Identity theft: Fact and fiction By Jonathan J. Rusch September 18, 2002, 4:00 AM PT In Shakespeare's Othello , Iago laments that "he that filches from me my good name/Robs me of that which not enriches him/And makes me poor indeed." In the modern world, by contrast, filching someone else's good name through identity theft can significantly enrich the criminal and impoverish the victim. Some federal cases within the last year suggest why identity theft has become one of the fastest-growing forms of white-collar crime: indicted in Miami on identity theft-related charges relating to his alleged filing of false federal tax returns in the names of 614 Florida prisoners, seeking more than $3 million in fraudulent refunds. convicted in Seattle on various identity theft-related offenses involving at least $464,000 of fraud under false identities that the defendant and her co-conspirators had set up. sentenced in Los Angeles to federal prison for managing an auto theft and identity theft ring, in which conspirators stole biographic and credit information from real people and used the data to buy luxury cars amounting to more than $200,000.

Aggressive enforcement and prosecution of property crimes helps to deter more serious personal crimes and improves the quality of life in local communities. Property crimes are the type of crime that affect the most people in their day-to-day lives. In 1999, Hennepin County Attorney Amy Klobuchar established a special Property Crimes Team to devote resources to ensure the appropriate prosecution of property crimes. Andrew LeFevour leads the Hennepin County Attorney's Property Crimes Team In the past, when prosecutors had caseloads composed of both violent and property crimes, the property crimes were too often treated as a significantly lower priority. Now, there is a team of prosecutors who are dedicated exclusively to handling property crime cases. The Property Crimes Team prosecutes felony-level property crimes committed in Hennepin County. The seven attorneys assigned to the Team handle more than 2,500 cases each year. (Click here for a fact sheet on the prosecution of property crimes.)

PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM IDENTITY THEFT Just as we've had to target harden our homes - it now becomes increasingly important to target harden our personal identities from theft and fraud. Though it's impossible to close out all the sources of personal data, you can do some things that make personal theft more difficult: Social Security Number Think of your Social Security Number as the gateway to all your personal records. Once in the hands of a clever crook, all your other records are quickly available to him. Give this number only to people who have a legitimate need to know. Pre-Approved Credit Offers Think of these as an I.D. theft waiting to happen. If you do not want the card, destroy the offer. The same goes for any statements you receive with credit card information on them. Crooks get information by combing through trash cans. Phone Books Consider listing only your name and phone number, or get an unlisted number. Telemarketing Calls Never give personal information to phone solicitors. Many identity thieves lure victims into giving personal information by telling them they've won a fabulous prize. Think it through. Remember – IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS! Mailing Lists Opt out of as many mailing lists as you can. When doing business with a company, or giving to a charity, ask them not to sell or rent your name and address to anyone else.
