Now, two and a half years later, charges have been brought against 13 people alleged to have conspired in an identity-theft ring that resembled a small, coordinated business.

Identity theft is constantly in the news. Almost every month we read about another major data breach. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, 17.6 million Americans were victims of identity theft in 2014. However, the term “identity theft” is used broadly.

If you report theft of your ATM card within 2 business days, your maximum legal loss is $50. And many banks will not even make you liable for the $50. But if you wait more than two days, the maximum loss increases to $500. And if you wait more than 60 calendar days after your statement is sent to you, the liability increases to “all the money taken from your ATM/debit card, and possibly more.”

Most people are familiar with the term “dumpster diving,” which can refer to people combing through trash to pull financial records in an attempt to steal someone’s identity.

But what about the documents people leave behind after car accidents or an impoundment?

In two Michiana salvage yards, NewsCenter 16 found paystubs, credit cards, insurance policies, old vehicle registrations and bills.

To find out just how much or how little information an identity theft needs to compromise your financial information, we checked with a cybercrimes investigator with the St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office, Mitch Kajzer.

“It’s very easy for someone’s identity to be stolen,” said Kajzer. With more and more people using the internet to share life moments on social media, experts are finding online users are over-sharing key data points to their online financial information as well.

“Through a very little bit of information, people, through online searches and through social engineering, can find out other bits of information and keep building,” cybercrimes investigator Mitch...

Jasper RCMP received at least a dozen complaints about fraud over the course of one week in May.

Although the nature of the incidents vary, the majority of the complaints involve people impersonating the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

According to police, the bulk of the fraudulent calls are believed to have come from outside the country, making it difficult to investigate, however the RCMP will be making a concerted effort to address the recent spike in complaints.

MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) - So you file your taxes and you’re waiting on a big return. Likely you already have it going to a big purchase, maybe a vacation or a new TV. You file your paper work and...rejected. It happened to Montgomery resident Patrick Thomase about 5 years ago.

“It was rejected,” Thomase said. “They said somebody already filed under my social security number.” With that began a year of frustration.
