Identity Theft

Article:"DID THEY SWINDLE THEIR NEIGHBORS TO SEE THE WORLD?" by Alex Tresniowski,Sean Scully,Ellen Shapiro,Tiffany McGee; People; 12/24/2007,Vol.68 Issue 26, p139-140,2p

Tresniowski's article tells about a couple by the names of Anderson and Kirsch that live the high life on others' money and identities. The couple was still in college and they spent more time traveling than they did at school. According to some of the couple's friends they stayed at not so cheap 5 star hotels. The press dubbed them the nick names of Bonnie and Clyde.

After reading this article I have put my personal paper work in a safe that only I have access to, no one else. This article also gave me an idea of how my identity can be stolen. I've also informed my family how this can happen to them. For example my Uncle Shawn has had this happen to him. He had a guy in Cali. have the same name as him and the same s.s. number as him--now that's scary. He did get it straighted up soon after finding out.

Everyone knows that identity theft is bad and something you don't want to happen to you, but to know someone that has had their identity stolen is pretty crazy.
