How easy is it to steal someone’s identity?
Technically, it is easy to obtain critical identifying information of most citizens because it is stored everywhere in a filing cabinet or in some computer database. Just think about what information your have volunteered to the government, banks, medical offices, your employer, the local utility company, and the video rental store. Fortunately, most criminals are not technically savvy or gutsy enough to commit several more felonies to defraud companies and government agencies to obtain duplicate identification containing their image and signature to complete the process.
