Teen Life: Frequently Asked Questions About Identity Theft

Product Description

Identity: the distinguishing character or personality of an individual: individuality.
Theft: the act of stealing; specifically the felonious taking and removing of personal property with intent to deprive the rightful owner of it.
Simply put, identity theft is a crime. Just as it's illegal to steal a car or take someone's wallet, it's against the law to steal a person's identity. Identity theft occurs when one person steals another individual's personal information and then uses that information to do business in the victim's name.
