identity theft

undo the damage
employment fraud
People are stealing identity not only for money but also for jobs. One fugitive created 33 different identities from a stolen secuirty number. He used them to land jobs such as head of security for a fair and fire department chief for a town and also to avoid being arrested.
Some immigrants to the United States are also guilty of employment fraud. In 2004, one American woman learned that her social secuirty number had been used, mostly by illegal immigrants, for 38 different employers. Thousands of other American citizens' identity are used in the same way. But most of the people won't know until they are asked to pay taxes on wages they never earned or repay loans taken out by the imposter.

Students who need financial aid are often the victims of identity theft. Until recently, fifty percent of American colledges and universities used Social Secuirty numbers to post students' grades. This made many students easy targets for imposters to use their personal information to apply for financial aid -- and avoid repaying colledge loans. Although the threat of identity theft is growing, there is still hope. Consumers can learn safeguard their information and protect themselves. Be one of them!
