US Postal Inspectors Uncover ID Theft Ring In Tulsa
US Postal inspectors in Tulsa uncovered an identity theft ring and now, they hope you can help them find three people for questioning. A stash of social security cards, driver's licenses, credit cards and birth certificates have been recovered. Inspectors say thieves would break into cars and homes to get personal information. They say the thieves used that information to create fake IDs, then counterfeit checks and go on shopping sprees or may have traded that information to other criminals. US Postal Inspector Scott West: "In these rings, they use this stuff as barter tools. They might trade drugs for checks or trade drugs for credit cards, things like that." Officials have released pictures of the three people they would like to talk with.
Delicate balancing act from credit code
Credit checks know your rights! If you are in the business of providing credit the new Credit Reporting Privacy Code will affect you.
As New Zealanders' love affair with credit continues, the databases in which credit information is stored have become larger. Credit reporting agencies collect and hold credit information about individuals and disclose that information to their subscribers. That information is then used to assess an individual's credit-worthiness. The information held on those databases may affect a person's credit reputation for years. Until now the collection, use and disclosure of personal information has been governed by the Privacy Act 1993. With the passage of time, however, issues have arisen regarding the collection and use of this information.
