identity fraud laws

Identity fraud laws are designed to prevent and punish the illegal use of someone else's personal information, like your name, Social Security number, or credit card details, without permission. If a person commits identity fraud, they can face criminal charges, fines, and jail time. Laws also help victims recover losses and protect their credit. Essentially, these laws aim to deter criminals who steal personal data and ensure that those affected have legal avenues for justice and resolution.
