Atlanta Identity Theft Attorney

White Collar Crime Defense Lawyer

Identity theft is a serious criminal offense which is one of the primary types of criminal activity the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) focuses on, along with terrorism and espionage. A type of cyber crime, identity theft involves taking another person's sensitive information (social security number, contact information, driver's license number, and bank account information) in order to conduct any of a broad range of criminal acts, including but not limited to:

  • Bank account withdrawals
  • Applying for and obtaining credit cards or personal loans
  • Making purchases on the victim's credit accounts
  • Obtaining goods or services the offender would otherwise not be entitled to
  • Avoid arrest or criminal charges by giving another's identity

  • Going through another's mail to obtain credit card applications or other documents that may have valuable information.
  • Eavesdropping on a conversation regarding financial or personal information.
  • Stealing information through computer hacking.
  • Phishing - posing as a legitimate company to obtain customer's sensitive information.
