Mickey Mouse Victimized by Fraud?
7/17/2014 5:06:46 PM

Mickey Mouse fraud and stolen mail are just part of a much bigger identity theft picture.

I thought I’d read almost everything on the subject of fraud over the past five years but this is a new one. It appears that a group of people were charged with identity theft, and among the many stolen and forged documentation was a driver’s license in Mickey Mouse’s name, complete with a photo. The license indicated that Mickey was born in 1928, is approximately 5’2”, lives on Disneyland Avenue in Anaheim, CA, and is apparently an organ donor. That would be great, if Mickey actually had organs. The ajc.com article didn’t mention if other cartoon characters were used or whether anyone actually tried to use this card. To read the article, go to http://www.ajc.com/news/news/weird-news/mickey-mouse-among-victims-bellevue-identity-thief/ngdKJ/

With greater identity theft and fraud awareness everywhere, I’m still surprised that an individual can steal someone’s identity to obtain a credit card using only the victim’s phone number. It happened in Manhattan, when the victim asked the post office why he hadn’t his mail for several days. At that point he discovered that his mail was being forwarded to another address.

The thief had somehow gotten hold of the man’s phone number, applied it to his own phone, so when callers phoned to check his identity he simply used the man’s name. This was how he managed to acquire a Capital One credit card. Greed was his downfall, though, as he was busted trying to intercept a second Capital One card. The newsday.com article didn’t say how the suspect chose his victim, but you can read more at http://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/cops-id-theft-arrest-after-woodmere-man-s-mail-gets-forwarded-without-his-knowledge-1.8822208

There are countless stories out there about the rapid rise in identity theft. Some headlines state that it’s reaching epidemic proportions and that might be true. As the article in wtsp.com states, it appears that law enforcement is having an increasingly hard time keeping up with cybercrime. The numbers are staggering.

In 2012, over 16 million Americans reported identity theft and losses amounting to $24.7 billion.15.3 million people had their credit card or bank information stolen. 1.1 million had bogus accounts opened in their name, and 800,000 were victimized through other schemes. Worse, there is the matter of the Dark Web, or the Deep Web as it’s also called. These are difficult to access online forums where criminals go to buy or sell stolen information, and it appears they aren’t going away anytime soon.
