Forensic presentation by David C
David C made a
verbal presentation on Identity theft defined as using information to take on
the identity of another person for gain. David discussed the use of Drivers licences,
Passports, rates notices, tax file numbers, receipts, garbage bin contents etc to establish a false
identity by another person. David
strongly suggested that if you are the victim of identity theft to report immediately
to the police and your financial organisations to put a stop on your accounts.
