i was told there was a new form for the identity theft victims but which form is it?

I have a term paper to write.. and the prompt is why college students are targeted for identity theft. I’m finding it really hard to think of three topics for this paper because I’ve never even heard of a college student being in that predicament.

This is all very new to me, I really don’t see why they’re targeted. I’m a college student and no one has tried to steal my identity o,O I have a credit card though .. it’s a victorias secret one if that’s any helpful.

how hard is it to convict someone of credit card fraud or identity theft?
my nephew charged 12,000 on to my discover card and i didnt see the statements they just took 2 payments out of my checking account..
now im trying to dispute that charges.have i waited too long ? the last charge was in july of last year.
i called discover and they said that they would send me a new card and investigate and call me back in 5 days..so what will happen next i should say can anyone guess

he did have contact with discover card and did talk as me to stall the payments.
so do i have to press charges against him in a civil case or will the card press charges and have him arrested

i have talked to him and he has argred to make the payment every month but now that i have had discover investigate is it too late to stop charges from being filed?

and if i do file a police report will it be long before he is arrested?

that my refund was kept from me. I’ve faxed a copy of my I.D., Social security card, police report and a 14039 form twice. The results of the investigation that the Identity theft department was conducting was turned down. They said that it was not sufficient for them to change there determination. So please advise me of the next steps. Thanks alot.

Back in July 2008, I moved into an apartment. I was working from home before and had written down someones information to get them signed up for a product that required personal information. I called the electric company to put the electric in my name, and they said I wasn’t able to get it because I had a prior past due bill that needed to be paid first. I was freaking out because I didn’t have that kind of money, and I was pregnant and have a 5 year old child. I was racking my brain on what to do, so I went though my notebook and found this person’s information. I called the electric company and put it in their name. Every bill that I got, I paid, and was never late. It wasn’t my intent to hurt this person at all. I just needed to borrow it to make sure that my unborn child and my 5 year old had heat and a way for me to make them food. I ended up moving out a few months later after the baby was born and in with someone else, and had the electricity turned off. I forgot about paying the balance of the budget bill (0 and some change). The electric company located this person (states away) and mailed them the bill. It was reported as fraud/identity theft. I was contacted by my city police and went down to the station immediately and confessed everything. I even brought proof that I had been paying the bill. The officer was extremely nice and thanked me for my cooperation. He stated that he can tell that I didn’t do this out of malice because I was extremely truthful and he sees proof of payment. He told me that he would send it to the DA and call me when and if a warrant was issued so I could go and turn myself in without embarrassment. Just this Friday, he called and said a warrant was issued and a ,000 bond as well. He told me to just come in Monday morning at 6am that way I could see the judge the same day for my preliminary hearing. I am guilty, I know that I did it, and I don’t want to plead NOT guilty because that would make me a liar. I want to know if I plead guilty on Monday, if I will be put in jail. I’m scared, but I know I messed up and am willing to pay back what I owe. I have no record other than minor traffic violations. What do you think will happen?

We own a little resturant and it was broken into last night. A couple hundred dollars was stolen, but what I am worry about is that we have alot of bank statements and resturant information that we have at the resturant. All of these information was on the ground and all over the place when we got to the resturant in this morning. Should we worry about identity theft because there was alot of these letters and I dont even know if some was even taken. How do should we fix this if our identity in exposed?

My boyfriends step mother ordered a whole bunch of things in his name. Magazines, collectables, and things online. We aren’t in contact with her and we live 3 states away from her. She opened a whole bunch of diffecet acconts in his name and I just called all of the places she ordered from to cancel them. Now I am wondering how to go about filing for fraud or identity theft. If someone has been through this before and knows the person who is doing it or you know how to go about filing for it. Please!!

how do u file for identity theft??? plz help

Do you think that with all the identity theft that is taking place that this is making the way for the mark of the beast? How many of you would be comfortable with having a mark or chip put on/in you that could be scanned, instead of a credit/debit card? Thank you all for taking the time to answer.

Does anyone else think it would be a good idea to make identity theft a capital offense? Sentence a few people to death by lethal injection for using someone elses identity and the problem should taper off quite a bit.

comments?
for all offenses?…. nah that is a bit extreme, but I would support it for child molestation, any violent crime (armed robbery, assault and battery, assault with a deadly weapon, etc.), aggrivated sexual assault, identity theft, …. probably many others as well.

Okay so I have a polyvore account and I am in the Gram Bell Prep roleplay and I used a photo off photobucket and this girl is trying to get my account deleted because of "identity theft"
No the picture is not of her and I even put on my profile this is a roleplay not really me can she do this???

I have a friend who tried to open an account with paypal, but she was unable to do so because she has been suspended from them in the past for not paying. So she opened an account using her 10 year old daughter’s name and information, I told her this was identity theft and she should close the account. She think it is ok because they will never find out, I think this is very wrong and iresponsible. Why ruin a poor child’s credit.

So my question is.
Would this be considered theft and could she be setitng her self up to do some time in prison if caught?
She is not a very good friend by any means, but I do like her. I am still wanting to turn her in, because the child is innocent. Who would I call to report her?

Will it stop identity theft if their fingerprints are on it? Will it stop know identity thieves? Or is it just more intrusion and violation of Privacy of legitimate citizens of the USA? What can you do? You must have one by May 2008 and will not be able to have a bank account, board a plane or leave the state without one!

While applying for a job, I was told my background check showed that I am a convicted felon in Minnesota..I’ve never BEEN to Minnesota! This really threatens me in the job market..how do I run my own background check, to see if this should be reported as identity theft? Any knowledgeable answers very much appreciated!
Omg! You guys are freakin’ me out..Well at least you made me laugh…Nicely Done, feckers!

I am in the midst of a divorce and it is getting pretty ugly. All of our
cell phones are in my husbands name. We have 4 lines and all are listed in HIS name. Well, I decided a few weeks ago that I wanted my line free from his view. He was constantly checking my cell phone records to try to catch me up in something as he fears I’m with another person. That is not the case but I know he is checking so I thought it best to release myself from HIS lines.

Well, I called the cell provider and they said that only HE could allow me to release my number to my name. Well, I asked a friend (male) if he would call and pretent to be my husband and take care of this. He did so and they asked him to identify himself. My friend claimed that he was my husband. They asked for his ss# and again, my friend gave them my husbands information.

Here’s the problem. I admit that I have made the divorce very difficult for him and to be honest details don’t matter here. However, I now regret my decision to make this as painful as I have when it was me who asked for the divorce.

Regardless, I have a close friend that is also friends with my husband and he explained to me this evening that he saw my husband and that my husband had called the cell provider about this and they (through his lawyer) are providing him with the recorded call. I did not know the call was recorded but I’m sure (looking back) that I just overlooked this.

Any way, the cell provider states that if it was not him that I can lose the number as it was in HIS name and that I have comitted fraud. I believe he called it "subscription fraud". Our mutual friend also claimed that he has obtained a lawyer (just to get me in trouble no doubt) other than his divorce lawyer and is looking into having me charged with subscription fraud as well as identity theft. I do not run from the fact that I did do this to make him mad yet I NEVER dreamed what I was doing was that big of a deal. My husband is well connected around town and has a few high dollar lawyer friends/sharks that would be happy to take on this case at no charge to him.

Could I be in legal trouble when after all it was not me that made the call it was a friend of mine. I did not make the call. Could my friend be in trouble for doing so? My husband does not like this friend and would be thrilled if he thought he could get him in trouble. I also think if my husband could sue my friend for financial compensation he’d do so.

PLEASE tell me what I can do.

From my and other people’s experiences, PayPal® is anti-customer, having identity theft possibly via PayPal® as well as other major financial issues. What other companies that offer the same services are there than using PayPal®?

Is there a website stating the statue of limitations for identity theft for each states? Specifically west virginia and georgia, but also looking for all states.

I was talking with someone the other day who suggested that this would be the perfect thing to stop identity theft. Scan it like a credit card when applying for lines of credit etc.

Do you think they own an aluminum foil hat too?

I had to apply for SSN’s for my babies before we even left the hospital with them. Now with this new crisis of identity theft I have to guard those numbers for the next 18 years. Doesn’t this seem insane that we have to do this? I have their SS cards which they obviously can’t sign yet & I have to keep them guarded until they are old enough to use them. Why can’t they just apply for the SSN themselves when they get of age to work & actually NEED it? That’s what I did.
My babies don’t file an income tax return. I do. Does an official birth certificate not count anymore?
