Criminal

One of the saddest stories about identity theft that I’ve come across as a criminal defense paralegal happened to a client of my firm’s.

The client had a fairly coarse name. I’ll protect her identity by calling her Jennifer Marie Brown.

Another woman with the same name was arrested on the fee of theft. The police did not fingerprint her and she was released on her own recognizance. This Jennifer Marie Brown did not show up at her arraignment and a guarantee was issued for her arrest.

A join of years later, an additional one Jennifer Marie Brown ran a stop sign and a policeman pulled her over. When he ran her name, he saw there was a guarantee for her arrest and took her to jail. Our client had no idea what was going on as she had never stolen anything.

It took 5 dissimilar court hearings to sort out what had happened. Eventually, the Judge issued a formal statement that she was not the someone being sought. She now has to carry that statement with her everywhere she goes in case a police officer decides to run a background check on her.

This may be one of the more ultimate stories about identity theft, but as you can see, if you are not protected, you can be in a lot of problem if you are scammed out of your identity.

Not only did our client go to jail briefly, she also racked up thousands of dollars in legal fees and had to take 5 days off work for court appearances.

One way to protect yourself is to engage a proactive identity theft aid that will monitor your court and criminal as well as financial records. These stories about identity theft are becoming more coarse and you need to protect yourself out there.
