Identity Theft

[Ron61]

Steve,

The identity theft is a real problem in this day and age and once you are a victim of it, they don't seem to really care about getting your name cleared. I have avoided it but know two people that got caught with it and just like you, they are still trying to get their names cleared and all the crap straightened out. And the so called protection agency one of them had been paying dues to dropped them just as soon as the stuff started coming in. It seems around here Fraud is the number one business now. I read in yesterdays paper where some woman they had released on her own recognizance because of a fraud charge totaling well over $200K had been arrested again in Redding for theft, fraud, and a couple of other minor charges. And this while she was waiting trial for the original fraud. And she had three or four people's identity cards and everything she needed to charge stuff to them. And since they have already let her out once on her own recognizance, I doubt if they will do more than give her a few days in jail when the trial finally gets here. There is no money to be made by putting her in jail.
