DIdentity theft has become one of the fastest growing crimes, not only in Canada but in the world. Victims usually discover a problem when bills arrive or they were denied credit. By that time the criminal has probably discarded the identity and moved on to a new one. In most cases, victims do not have to pay the huge bills racked up by the thieves.They must however face hours of dealing with bill collectors, creditors and credit reporting agencies, trying to clear their names.
The living are not the only victims the dead are often targeted too. In fact, thieves often prefer stealing the identities of the dead. Who's going to call the police?
