Understanding Identity Theft Laws

Both federally and in Virginia, any crime in which a person wrongfully obtains and uses another person’s identity for his or her own personal gain is considered identity theft. Virginia outlines identity theft into four different types of offenses.

  • Using another’s personal identifying information (PII) to gain access to their finances, benefits or government issued identifying documents.
  • Using someone’s PII to purchase goods to services
  • Using PII to get identifying documents in another’s name.
  • Impersonating a state official or police officer to obtain PII

What is Considered Personal Identifying Information? 

As mentioned above, identify theft is the procurement of an individual’s identifying information for personal gain.

Below are some examples of what the law considers personal information:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Birthday
  • Biometrics (Retina Scans, Voice, Fingerprints)
  • Credit Card/Debit Car Numbers
  • Banking Information
  • Social Security Number

How to Reduce the Risk of Identity Theft

"Congratulations! You’ve Won" – Before ad blockers, you likely remember heading to websites and hearing that phrase. These scams continue to this day, only identity thieves use many different tactics to get your information. You could be contacted via your telephone by representatives claiming you’ve won some grand prize, or you may see an email that looks as if it was coming from a legitimate company, like Target or Amazon, claiming you’ve won. If these scammers ask for your banking information or social security information, hang up the phone or close the browser window.

Corporate Data Leaks – You may have heard about the corporate data leaks Target experienced a few years ago. When a corporation experiences a data leak, customers’ bank accounts, credit history, telephone numbers, and social security information is released into the world. Often these customers are never able to recover this information, and there are a higher risk of having their identities stolen. Consider signing up for a credit and identity theft monitoring service like LifeLock, which will alert you to any threats to your ID.
