Identity Theft is a crime in which an impostor obtains key pieces of personal identifying information (PII) and uses the information for personal gain. These crimes vary in nature based on the intellect and skill of the thieves. Thieves can access your personal information by stealing your wallet or purse, pilfering your mail, sifting through your garbage, infecting your computer with a virus, phishing your information online, or by hacking into your personal information which is stored on hundreds and thousands of databases across the country.
