Identity Fraud Who Get HurtYou may ask who get hurt when identity fraud occurs. The minority considers that the victims themselves are the only ones hurt when identity fraud occurs. But the truth is unlike what they had thought; everyone is hurt when identity fraud occurs. Rich people won't feel the dents in their wallets when identity fraud occurs and continues, but as the years progress, they will look back and see how they too had became victims of identity fraud, although their identity was never stolen. As a result, when identity fraud occurs over time every one is the victim of the crime. To pay for the expenses incurred by identity fraud we must pay higher prices for consumable goods. Each year millions of people are victimized by identity fraud, yet the statistics never count the victims outside of the victim's criminal attack. The law, the government, the financial departments and technology work hard to fight identity fraud each day. But the criminals are just clever, if not cleverer. Some do it just for the thrill of the act. Others steal to gain something from the criminal action. Still, other criminals steal identities while planning to commit a serious crime, using the information to cover his or her tracks. Think of a child filled with curiosity, and how the child refuses to let go of the emotion that is triggering him to do something he is unsure if he will regret later. Per se, the child wants something and it is out of his reach, except on the shelves at the store he visits frequently. The child will linger in his mind how he will get hold of the object he wants, until finally his impulses take over and he grabs the object, runs from the store and only later realizes that he committed a crime. This is the way criminal minds work. Thus, we have motive, planning, goals, thinking, strategy, skill, study time, education, learned behaviors, habit and other elements that come along with the criminal minds, especially the minds of thieves and murderers. A criminal first considers all the possibilities, including how he or she can get away with the perfect crime. Consequently, you can see that some criminals act out on crimes, simply because they want to do what no one has done before, and that iscommit the perfect crime. Challenge can be seen from this illustration. Therefore add challenge to the list above and continue...and what do you havesomeone capable of stealing your identity and possibly never being caught. Challenge fulfilled Having studied criminals for decades, mostly serial killers; however, I have lived around, monitor, explored and reported thieves throughout my lifetime. Unfortunately, I have been a victim of identity fraud twice, and other thievery crimes. Therefore, what I want is to reach an audience similar to the child listed in the article, filled with curiosity wondering how they can prevent and fight identity fraud. When you are a victim of identity fraud, never give up hope since there is hope somewhere at the end of the tunnel. Continue battling, regardless of the level of effort you must put into the battle. If you are not a victim of identity fraud, thus protect your personal information with everything you have, and never give your information out over phone lines or the Internet. Make sure that you keep track of your every move throughout your life, since you never know when you will fall victim of identity fraud. So you can see, identity fraud is one, if not thee most hateful crime ever committed, since the victim of the crime often feels hopeless and has to act like a Paranoid Schizophrenia to survive. The victim is persecuted by the thief and the everyone else around him, including creditors, law enforcement, courts and so forth. Finally, you ask, who is hurt when identity fraud occursYOU and EVERYONE else in the world! |
