Typically identity thieves filch key pieces of personal data - credit card numbers or social insurance numbers - then commit various crimes by impersonation. Identity thieves also hang around banking machines to relieve the unwary of their bank account access numbers. They redirect mail to capture credit cards and other personal information and even paw through garbage in search of loan applications or employee files. 2, record 1, English, - identity%20thief
