Stan M asked:


When I was 20 I used a relative’s info to get a license from the DMV. They recently went to get their own license renewed and were confronted when they noticed the digital picture they had (of me) didn’t match. I used the ID to simply get into bars and casinos, nothing criminal. My relative now has to fill out a fraud complaint packet and will be issued a case number. My relative knew I had done this 4 years ago and just wants to get their license without legal remedy being taken against me. What will likely happen? Has anyone experienced this?

this is a well known scam. why can’t the authorities do anything to stop & prosecute these scam artists ? they operate from UK adresses with names, phone numbers & email ID. i would have thought their tactics amount to basic fraud & would therefore be illegal ! isn’t that straight forward fraud ?

We are moving and my car was broken into. They stole my wallet, which had my sons’ social security cards, and my old one with my maiden name and my new one. They also ended up with my routing and account number, but I closed the account. They had my ID too, but that was mailed back to me from across the state. I am afraid they will open accounts in my sons’ names, since they have all the information needed. How do I file a identity theft/fraud alert for free?

Is there a way that I can tell the DMV to keep tabs on my lost California ID?

and can whoever has all of this use my ID to get into bars, or to do fraud with or to open loans, or to go to my bank to withdrawl money, if they have the ID then they could couldn’t they? Because they know what bank and they have the debit cards. Also I did call the bank to cancel all of the debit cards but they still have my informationa nd my ID ?
I think i know who took it and it’s someone who goes to my school so it jsut makes it easier for them to stalk me , what can I do ?
I’m afraid because there was not one penny in the wallet and they STILL kept it, that’s what scares me !

Craig asked:


Im 16, and I live in Canada, im wondering what the consequences would be using my real drivers license, that proves in 16, to buy alcohol. Ive done it before and no one looks at the date of birth, they just check to see your using an id that has a picture of you.

I can’t think of any reason why this would be against the law. I don’t think I can be charged with under aged drinking if I haven’t consumed any alcohol, and if im not using a fake id I cant be charged for fraud or any forging of a government id.

So im wondering what the consequences of being caught would be. (Besides being embarrassed)

This is how it went down. Please let me know if you see ANY faults done by the ABC (alcohol beverage control) that would void the ticket. Keep in mind my ID was expensive and very realistic and had my picture, name, a real city and all.

1) I walk in the store, picked up a bottle of cheap vodka, and proceeded to the register.
2) Immediately, I am asked for my id BY THE STORE CLERK. He then immediately, without questioning of any kind, gives the ID to a man dressed casually who inspects it for about 25 seconds before asking me for an alternate form of ID.
3) I give him my debit card. He inspects both the fake ID and the credit card very carefully for what felt like almost 2 minutes. He then shows me the ID, and then asks if the number in the top right is the drivers license number. I said yes without hesitation.
4) He gets on his cell phone and walks into the storage area of the store with BOTH my ID and my credit card.
5) He returns and says that he is Agent *Name* and that i need to step in the back with him.
6) I am greeted by a man in ABC uniform and the first agent explains to me that the drivers license number does no exist in North Carolina (my IDs state(I’m in Mississippi by the way)).
6) Agent 1 asks me if it is a fake ID, and i say yes.
7) I am asked more questions. The officers are very nice, as am i, and i even offer to provide information about who i got it from and where, in addition to the questions that he asked me. He gave me a misdemeanor charge of “possesion of a fake id” instead of fraud which is a fealony. He didnt even take me to jail and i got a $100-500 ticket (depending on the judge).

I dont have that kind of money and i was wondering if theres anyway i can get out of it by means of pleading not guilty, and presenting information that would void the entire case all together.

I would think that since i gave the ID to the clerk and NOT the Agent and that i did NOT give permission to the agent to possess my property in the first place that it is all voided, maybe?

Any other ideas would sure be helpful. I have court on tuesday.

My email is bigbourke@gmail.com if you need any additional information on the matter to further assist me. Thanks so much guys.

i know that this is identity theft and fraud but as grandparents basically have no rights to report this juvenile identity theft. anyone have any ideas
i have reported this to the federal trade commission but they said that in order to report this i would have to be the guardian of the children and in this case the kids guardians are the ones doing this to them. the son is right there with her and i’m afraid is very aware of what she’s doing. i have mentioned this to the sheriffs office and all they say is thats a shame
