“Frankenstein ID’s” refer to synthetic identities
“Frankenstein ID’s” refer to synthetic identities – a new type of fraud carried out by criminals that have created fictitious identities which are pieces of mismatched identities, some fake, some real, some even deceased.
Write a two-page paper describing the origin of this type of identity theft, how these criminals build these identities to commit fraud, and who are the likely targets of such fraud. Research and describe two cases of “Frankenstein” identity theft.
