Identity theft occurs when one person assumes the persona of another, most notably with fraudulent intent. Throughout history different criminals have stolen identities, causing serious distress for their victims. However, the rise of the Internet and the availability of an almost unlimited stockpile of information have made identity theft one of the most common crimes in the world today.Modern identity theft is very simple; a criminal gets a name and an address, associates it with a valid credit card or bank account number and then spends money from that credit card or bank account until either the money runs out or the account is closed due to fraud. When this happens, people are often caught by surprise the next time they try to use their credit or debit cards to shop.Recovering from identity theft is often a long, arduous process that sometimes is never completely successful. Victims are often left to themselves to find ways to convince credit reporting agencies that transactions were fraudulently made in their name. Even under favorable conditions, victims of identity theft are often unable to restore closed accounts, obtain refunds for overdraft fees and other penalties, or track down the perpetrator that almost ruined their life.Because of the human wreckage identity thieves leave behind, an entire industry has evolved that promises to help combat identity theft for a fee. Now, innocent citizens are forced to choose to either spend money for fear of being victimized or spend money after being victimized to recover from identity theft. Some of the largest companies selling identity theft protection are enablers of the crime: credit bureaus. Most consumers never asked to become part of credit bureau databases, leaving them in peril. Meanwhile, credit bureaus sell credit monitoring services to help consumers become aware that their identities were stolen. Some consumer advocates think the credit agencies should be required to secure their systems and be responsible for protecting the consumer data the companies have presumptuously collected.
