So, somebody has your social security number. Just wait until the IRS comes after you for not reporting the income from your second job, picking grapefruit in Florida. Happened to a guy here. Has cost bundles in legal fees to straighten it out. Reader's Digest had a story once on a man who couldn't retire because SS showed he was still working in another state. It's not necessarily illegal aliens either. People who can't pass criminal background checks use stolen identity to get legitimate jobs, or they get arrested and give your ID and you can't pass a background check. Identity theft is a real mess. I don't think the penalties are harsh enough. Shakespear said it. He who steals my purse steals trash; but he who steals my good name takes that which little enriches him but makes me poor indeed. |
