John: “I was an Identity Theft Victim” “Thieves Rang up $250,000 Debt in Six Weeks” Read this interview to learn how John: Discovered he was a victim of Identity Theft; fought back against the thieves; changed his behavior to protect himself and his family from further incidents. John: The thieves reverse-engineered my Social Security number using a credit card and with that got access to a credit report they actually used to commit fraud. They then went back and systematically went through those accounts where they could see the greatest benefit the most quickly.”]
