Reasoning Identity theft and identity fraud are crimes that were almost unheard of a few years ago. Yet the number of recorded cases of these crimes in the UK has increased from 9,000 in 1999 to 77,500 in 2007. Identity theft is the misappropriation of the identity of another person. Identity fraud is the use of this identity theft in criminal activity. In modern society you need to prove your identity for all sorts of reasons – to open a bank account, to obtain a loan, for credit when you make purchases, and so on. An identity thief can use your personal details to do any of these things, even to claim a benefit in your name. All he needs is access to a few of your personal details or a document bearing your name. The identity fraudster will steal or forge your documents, such as a passport or a driving licence, and use them in criminal activity. To protect yourself from identity theft, make sure that you don’t give away any personal details unless you are sure it’s safe to do so, and always keep your documents in a safe place.
