What Is Identity Theft?

Identity theft is charged when an individual takes another person's personal identification information to open accounts for personal financial gain or other unlawful purposes.

Some examples of identity theft include:

  • Opening a credit card account using someone else's information
  • Forging checks or driver's licenses
  • Email or "phishing" attempt to obtain personal information
  • Opening bank accounts with another person's information
  • Using someone else's Social Security Number
  • Stealing mail to collect someone else's welfare or unemployment checks
  • Applying for a mortgage using another's personal information

Penalties for Identity Theft

The punishment for identity theft when convicted can result in a prison term from 5 – 30 years in federal prison, as well as community service, probation and steep fines. You could also be facing state charges as well, and Arizona classifies identity theft as a Class 4 felony, which involves up to 3 years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines.
