Wow, just read that. A little scary that someone can just take over. This goes to show sometimes it is for different reasons.

This made me think of something that happened to me a few years ago. I had my health insurance information stolen. For three years, another lady was filing claims and getting scripts using my insurance. Not once was she questioned. I happen to get a list of scripts that I had used and that's when I found out. I called the pharmacy, who would not give me any info due to privacy laws. Called local authorities only to be told it was not in there jurisdiction. What it boiled down to was she got away with it. And here is the kicker, my health insurance increased $50 a month because of claims filed! Even though they were NOT mine! Talk about sucking. . So it isn't just credit cards and SS numbers. They will use anything and everything.
