Grave Robbers

This article and information was just brought to my attention. All of you that are members of AARP, as I am, probably read this article or should of. This information can be found in the AARP Bulletin March 2007. The article is in the Your Money Section and the author is Sid Kirchheimer. Mr. Kirchheimer starts off his article: During 72 years of life, Johnnie Salter had only two credit cards. Johnnie had a sister by the name of Billie Crane. Billie said that she made her brother Johnnie get one of the two credit cards that he had, so he could make travel reservations for a fishing trip with his two nephews. Now here comes the scary part. Just before the vacation that Johnnie had planned with his nephews; Johnnie passed away from an aneurysm. Over the following two weeks, in January 2002, Billie discovered 21 credit applications made in Johnnie's name. It was discovered that "a new car and about $10,000.00 had been charged" says Billie Crane, 73. "It's bad enough to steal someone's identity and ruin their credit history". "To do it to a dead man, and to his family so shortly after his death, it's just terrible". But it's certainly easy, authorities say. Authorities say, scammers troll through obituaries for names and addresses. Then they buy Social Security numbers and other personal data-such as credit histories- of the recently departed for as little as $15 on the internet. It states in Mr. Kirchheimers article, that "About 400,000 checking accounts were opened in the names of deceased people in 2004". This information was given by Jay Foley of the Identity Theft Resource Center, a San Diego-based consumer advocacy group. Here's their web address: http://www.idtheftcenter.org This is so terrible, you're not even safe after you've passed away from identity theft!
