Did Barack Obama commit IDentity Theft as a high schooler?

Children’s Identity Theft is a growing area of major concern.  Parents and the children are finding out that their children’s IDentity have been used.  Finding out too late.  Like when they turn 18, and apply for their first car loan, apartment rental, employment, college admissions and school loans…

In an article on-line “…possible fraudulent use of a Social Security number in Connecticut, while Obama was a high school student in Hawaii.”

One of Top 10 Scams & Rips-Offs in 2010: Identity Theft

With as much press as identity theft has had in recent years, you’d think it would be on the BBB’s top 10 list every year. Not so. Identity theft wasn’t in the top 10 last year.

There are any number of ways a person can become a victim of identity theft. Through low-tech theft, phishing emails, vishing phone calls, smishing text messages, or even through no fault of your own as the result of a corporate data breach, millions fall victim to identity theft every year.
