Hoar USA Bulletin (March 2001) Sean B. Hoar Assistant United States Attorney District of Oregon The Nature of the Problem Identity theft has been referred to by some as the crime of the new millennium. It can be accomplished anonymously, easily, with a variety of means, and the impact upon the victim can be devastating. Identity theft is simply the theft of identity information such as a name, date of birth, Social Security number (SSN), or a credit card number. The mundane activities of a typical consumer during the course of a regular day may provide tremendous opportunities for an identity thief: purchasing gasoline, meals, clothes, or tickets to an athletic event; renting a car, a video, or home-improvement tools; purchasing gifts or trading stock on-line; receiving mail; or taking out the garbage or recycling. Any activity in which identity information is shared or made available to others creates an opportunity for identity theft. It is estimated that identity theft has become the fastest-growing financial crime in America and perhaps the fastest-growing crime of any kind in our society.

Crime Prevention Tips HOME MISSION STATEMENT FAQ'S CUDAHY'S MOST WANTED ... WHAT'S NEW IDENTITY THEFT / IDENTITY FRAUD Identity theft is now the fastest growing crime in America. Some 500,000 to 750,000 people have their identity data stolen every year. Everyone and anyone can become a victim of identity theft. That's why this is such a devastating crime. So much of our personal identifying data is "out there" that it is virtually impossible to stop another person from taking your identity. Identity theft occurs when someone takes, steals or improperly obtains another person's identifying information: name/date of birth/Social Security Number. Using this information illegally, called identity fraud, allows an imposter to open or misuse bank accounts, purchase goods and services, apply for loans, obtain utilities, cell phones and cable TV. The extent of the identity fraud is limited only by the imposter's lack of imagination. You can protect yourself from identity fraud. Don't carry your birth certificate or Social Security card in your wallet or purse. Never give out personal identity data to others over the phone or Internet unless you are certain of the identity of the person you are dealing with. Do not give out personal information over cordless phones or cell phones; anyone can listen in. Obtain copies of your own credit reports once a year from the three reporting agencies and examine them carefully. Watch the flow of your mail. Check monthly bills and statements carefully. Lastly be prudent in where and how you give out your identity information.

Identity Theft and Your Identification Click here for identity theft and scam related news stories. Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States. Credit card numbers, driver’s license numbers, social security numbers, and other personal identification can net criminals thousands of dollars in a very short period of time. While the financial loss incurred by this type of crime is not always incurred by the consumer, it can significantly traumatize them, and take them months if not years to restore their credit and good name, and may keep them from being able to cash checks, obtain loans, or even rent an apartment or obtain utilities. TEN WAYS TO PROTECT YOURSELF You can minimize the risk of being victimized by taking the following steps: 1. Never leave your purse or wallet unattended, at work, at restaurants, at health fitness clubs, in your shopping cart, at church, at parties. Never leave your purse or wallet in open view in your car, even when locked. 2. Destroy all checks immediately when you close a checking account. Destroy or keep in a secure place, any courtesy checks that your bank or credit card company may mail you.
