It’s so incredibly frustrating as a victim of identity theft to have these fucktards give away my information without any form of care. I wish I had the means to sue them into oblivion.
- sneak 5y agoIt's important to remember that you aren't the victim of identity fraud: the banks are. The reframing of the banks being defrauded as the problem/theft of the "identity" of the name mentioned by the criminal when defrauding the bank is a pretty creative and slimy way of a bank de-risking themselves.
- matsemann 5y agoYes! A thousand times yes! Someone didn't steal my identity. Someone took money from you claiming to be me. That's a you problem, not a me problem.
- rwmj 5y ago> Someone took money from you and you didn't properly check who they were.
- tristanb 5y agoWonderful theoretically - but I wasted weeks of time trying to get them to even acknowledge a problem. I've called a bank informed someone opened a line of credit pretending to be me, and been told they will get back to me, whilst letting the debt grow. There is no sense of urgency. Its such a broken system.
