8. 8 Examples What Happens When Someone Else Gets Your Tax Refund by DAN BOBKOFF --February 18, 2013 4:02 PM A teacher in Bakersfield wondered what happened to her refund. "I just figured something was wrong with their system," says Joyce Hood. Someone had filed a return in her husband's name, using his Social Security number. The ID thief falsified earnings and made off with thousands of dollars from the Treasury. Joyce Hood, the teacher in Bakersfield, says she spent hours at the IRS office. Officials told her it could take up to a year to get her refund. "And I just looked at them, and I said, I can't, I really need this money. I have a daughter starting college," says Hood. As she waited, she paid part of her daughter's tuition with a credit card, racking up interest charges until the refund finally came last fall.

10. 10 Examples Prostitute Steals School Employee's Identity VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — One woman is a prostitute. The other is a Volusia County school employee. But a case of stolen identity blurs the lines of who's who. The school employee walked into work on a Monday morning and her boss asked her if she was arrested for prostitution over the weekend. He just read about her arrest in the morning newspaper. Here's some background. The woman's purse was stolen in a violent mugging two months prior. She was walking to her car in a Publix parking lot when her purse was snatched. "Someone wrote $1,300 dollars worth of checks [that] I had to prove it wasn't me." Apparently, the thieves were interested in more than money. Another woman took on her identity and then got arrested for prostitution, in the school employee's name.

11. Local Victim of Identity Theft “My health seems to be deteriorating rapidly. My broken marriage did a number on me especially after the loss of the unfair termination case.

I'm going to see a doctor tomorrow.” --- Malcolm Byrd 11

14. Affirmative Defense “One solution that provides an affirmative defense against potential fines, fees, and lawsuits is to offer some sort of ID theft protection as an (voluntary) employee benefit... The key is to make the protection available, and have a mandatory employee meeting on ID theft and the protection you are making available, similar to what most employers do for health insurance” 14

15. Affirmative Defense “Employees can elect either to accept or decline to have ID theft coverage. If employees have coverage and become ID theft victims, the employer gains. The victimized employees will spend less time and money and experience less frustration in restoring their identities.” 15

16. Affirmative Defense “If employees decline the coverage and later claim their identities were stolen as a result of the [employers] actions, the employer has signed proof that they attended the presentation and declined the coverage.” Peter Marshall Business and Legal Reports January 19, 2006 16
