We have lower incomes in the state, which is one reason. And it's a lot harder to pretend to be someone from Belt than it is to be someone from a bigger urban area like New York City.

I've seen cases of parents with bad credit that use their kid's name to get utilities. Other cases involved friends with addiction or gambling problems that steal your personal information to open credit card accounts.

A thief would be stupid to take anything. They can copy the numbers, open accounts and unless the person is monitoring their credit report, it could be months before they find out they are a victim.

They can't say you'll go to jail. Though Charles Dickens loved them, America does not have debtor's prisons.

In five years, federal officials say people will be more likely to be a victim of this crime than not.

Check your credit report. It won't stop this crime from happening to you, but it will minimize the damage.
