Identity Theft

Identity theft is a federal crime in which an imposter obtains information by false pretenses for personal gain.

 
Information (Social Security Number, drivers license, credit card numbers, etc.) can be snatched in a variety of ways...however, computers have contributed significantly to numbers in the past few years. Please visit the Judicial Affairs website for a comprehensive look at the identity theft and how you can take a proactive role to keep your identity safe.
