When a person obtains someone else's personal information, these are some thing that could potentially happen that would harm the person whose identity has been stolen:

  • Open new lines of credit (can harm your credit and incur debt).
  • Seek medical attention (could be harmful by getting incorrect medical information on your record, or incurring debt).
  • Drain savings and retirement accounts
  • Provide an alias when arrested (harmful if the cops look for you when the other person runs, or if the other person uses your information to pay bail.
  • Get a job and file false tax returns (could be harmful when the IRS sees the records and thinks that you are not paying taxes on all of your income).
