Book excerpt: Identity fraud--the stealing of such personal identification information as a social security number, date of birth, or mother's maiden name--appears to be increasing and is a factor in various financial crimes. Criminals may use this information to fraudulently establish credit, run up debt, or take over existing financial accounts. The methods used to obtain personal identifying information can range from basic street theft to sophisticated organized crime schemes involving the use of computerized databases or the bribing of employees with access to customer or personnel records. Currently, no federal agency has overall or primary jurisdiction for investigating such fraud, which is difficult to track because there is no standardized definition of identity fraud. The scope or types of identity fraud can range from unauthorized use of a credit card to the total takeover of a person's identity. GAO found no comprehensive statistics on the prevalence of identity fraud, although it did obtain limited statistics from some federal agencies. For example, a Secret Service official provided GAO with arrest statistics for the agency's financial-crimes investigation cases considered to be directly associated with identity fraud. As reported by the Secret Service, arrests in these cases totaled 8,806, 8,686, and 9,455, respectively, for fiscal years 1995, 1996, and 1997. This report discusses (1) law enforcement's responsibilities for investigating identity fraud and the difficulties in tracking such crime; (2) statistics or other data showing the prevalence of identity fraud; (3) the costs of identity fraud; and (4) identity fraud and the Internet, including the status of self-regulation by computerized database services that collect and disseminate personal identifying information. GAO, which asked credit bureaus for revenue figures associated with selling personal identifying information, also discusses the effects on businesses if such sales were restricted.

Download or read book Identity Theft in Today s World written by Megan McNally and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book accurately identifies the various forms of identity theft in simple, easy-to-understand terms, exposes exaggerated and erroneous information, and explains how everyone can take action to protect themselves. Identity theft is a classic crime with a modern (and perhaps decidedly American) twist. The rise of technology over the past few decades—and its influence on the processes of modernization and globalization—has created many new opportunities for identity theft both locally and internationally. Moreover, this process has transformed the nature of identity from something largely personal to something almost purely financial. Although identity theft is not a global crime per se, it does pose a pervasive and universal threat that will need to be acknowledged and addressed by many nations throughout the world. In this text, author Megan McNally examines the concept of identity theft in universal terms in order to understand what it is, how it is accomplished, and what the nations of the world can do—individually or collectively—to prevent it or respond to it.
