3. Serve Time in Jail with Your Identity
For some criminals, identity theft isn’t there only illegal gig. There have been times when these fraudsters have been arrested and given a false name and social security number to the police. Finger prints, photographs and a criminal record can all become attached to you if you are a victim of cyber hacking. Even worse, the criminal can post bail and not turn up for the hearing. Then, a warrant will be out for your arrest. You could get picked up by officers during a routine traffic check and have huge difficulty explaining your situation from a jail cell. Especially, if you are unaware that your identity has been stolen. If this type of fraud happens to you, file a criminal complaint for identity theft at your local police station. This way you’ll avoid being wrongly accused for a second time.
