I have a friend who tried to open an account with paypal, but she was unable to do so because she has been suspended from them in the past for not paying. So she opened an account using her 10 year old daughter’s name and information, I told her this was identity theft and she should close the account. She think it is ok because they will never find out, I think this is very wrong and iresponsible. Why ruin a poor child’s credit.

So my question is.
Would this be considered theft and could she be setitng her self up to do some time in prison if caught?
She is not a very good friend by any means, but I do like her. I am still wanting to turn her in, because the child is innocent. Who would I call to report her?

I have a roommate who is trying to say I stole her identity because she asked me to get a landline in our apartment in her name. Is this seriously ID Theft?
We actually talked about it and everything was disconnected and I paid the fees even though she didn’t contribute anything. But she got mad and keyed my car. I said that was vandalism and she got mad and was like well, I’m going to procecute you for Identity Theft.

About a year ago, I found out that my name was used to purchase a number of magazines. The magazine company sent me a letter telling me that I was going to be put into collection if I didn’t pay the amount billed for the magazines. Well I knew it wasn’t me who purchased the magazines, so I told the company that it was a fraud account and luckily they closed the account without billing me. But heres the catch: the address that the magazines were being sent to was a relative of mine. Also, the magazine company sent me a copy of the card that was filled out by my relative. When I recieved the copy of the card I knew exactly that this person was my cousin because I noticed her handwriting. Now my only problem is how am I going to prove that it was her writing? If I ask her I know right away that she will just lie about it. I’ve already filed for identity theft and all I need to do is file a police report. What will the police do about it? Will they do an investigation?
Hopefully someone can be able to answer all of my questions. Also, what would happen to my cousin if I’m able to prove that this is her who did this?
