<p>If some bad guys steal my ID, what is the worst case?
Do I have to work all my life to pay to the bank?
The banks just issue credit card very easy, sometimes we do not apply, they just mail it.
So if they provide to the bad guy, that is their problem then they must deal with it by themself . Why does good person become a victim?
Am I right that I only cannot borrow money to buy house, car …I cannot imagine if hundreds million people cannot get a loan. Good luck to the banks. I think I am wrong, I still do not understand that why this problem is so scary.
Please explain to me what people must do if they become a victim.
And if they do not care, what happen to them?
Thank you so much.</p>
<p>Review the info at this website. If you’re attending a U, ask their tech support folks what resources they have to help you if you’re the victim of ID theft, which is unfortunately an increasingly common problem with electronics. </p>

<p>If your social security number is stolen, you could be dealing with a lot of fraudulent credit accounts in your name. Other mischief could also occur, like someone giving it to an employer so that the IRS thinks you (not the fraudster) earned the money and have to pay income tax on it.</p>
<p>From the credit standpoint, at least put a fraud alert in your credit reports (you can view free once per year at each of the major credit reporting companies at <a href=“http://www.annualcreditreport.com”>http://www.annualcreditreport.com</a> and set fraud alert there). For more protection, you can have them do a credit freeze, although it costs a small amount of money and must be turned off whenever you apply for a credit card or loan (and then turned back on afterward).</p>
