Why not steal my own identity and commit fraud?

  1. Get private mailbox using fake ids and someone else's info.
  2. Apply for a bunch of CC's in your name, have them sent to the private mail box
  3. Max out all the CC's on a btc (circle/coinbase) account, then move the btc around a bunch, tumble it, etc.
  4. Call the police, work with fraud dept at CC's to get charges removed from your credit.
  5. Profit.

(Assume opsec is good, so the identity thief is untraceable)

(I'm sure I'm missing something here. The idea just came to me and I wondered why it wouldn't work. Seems to good to be true if it would.)

"Hi Sir, you want to open a CC account?"

"Yup, hook me up bro, here's my ID."

"Hmmm... this says you live in a mailbox"

"Yeah... I'm really bendy... and er... saves rent!"

"Oh OK! Here's your CC."

"Thanks :D"

Credit card companies will usually have a policy of sending first cards to the billing address for exactly this reason.

I can steal your identity for you :D PM me all your information please.

stealing your own identity sounds great. i suggest getting a trustworthy friend to do it. you can steal their identity while you're both at it.

It's not this easy or else everyone would do this. You'll get caught.

if you don't have an existing excellent credit report, it will be difficult and take a very long time restoring your credit report. your better off opening a bunch of different bank accounts, maxing your cards then reporting your wallet stolen rather than claiming identity theft.

Have you ever had a credit card or bank account before? Have you ever been through a fraud investigation?

The banks are not as ignorant as you are.
