Identity theft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1697 words) |
 | Identity theft (or identity fraud) is the deliberate assumption of another person's identity, usually to gain access to their finances or frame them for a crime. |
| Assuming a false identity with the knowledge and approval of the person being impersonated, such as for cheating on an exam, is not considered to be identity theft. |
| Identity fraud actually is often committed without identity theft, as in the case of relatives who have been granted access to personal records, or criminals who randomly generate credit card numbers for fraud without even knowing the name of the victim. |
