Familial identity theft occurs when an individual obtains and uses the personal identifying information of a relative without his/her consent for personal gain. This is an often-unreported crime, yet the financial, emotional, and physical impacts victims experience are often long-lasting. In this presentation, common themes in familial identity theft victims’ experiences will be shared, supported by the voices of real victims.
