I got a kick out of this article. It is about how people who use to make a lot of money off of stealing other peoples identities are now making basically nothing for the same work and how the number of threats are down.
Is this really news? Probably not, but I bet by putting this in the news will discourage some people from going into the business.

I hope it does sway people from trying to take the identity of others. That really messes up a persons life and they have to spend years trying to get their life back. I used to have someone elses credit rating on my credit report. I had to fight for years to get it off of my report. someone had the same name as I did and they used my information.

I dont think it is good because now there going to find other things to do with our identities to make mmoney.One of the most boldest scams I have heard of is when a scammer sees a house for rent and then acts like he owns it and rents it out and collects rent from the tenants and the owners knows nothing because alot of times the owners live out of state.
