It is implemented in several ways, sometimes through credit card statements, or a massive corporate database hacking.

Financial identity thieves may also purchase something by faking their identity. This act may severely damage one’s reputation, mainly related to credit score. Bear in mind that a bad credit score could really trouble someone in getting a loan in the future. This act is by far the most common form of identity theft.

Tax-related theft

Using a stolen Social Security number, an imposter can misuse it to file a false tax return with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Victims may not notice they become the target of fraud until they receive a letter from the IRS.

Medical identity theft
