• Women Caught In Identity Theft Scheme (Daily Press)
    VICTORVILLE — When authorities went to serve a search warrant at the home of a woman suspected of identity theft, they arrived at a brand-new house and found a brand-new truck in the driveway along with a house full of expensive decor.


The Criminal Mind and Identity Theft


After studying human behaviors, crimes, criminals, emotions, thoughts, and various other subjects and surviving many crimes, I feel it is important to understand the criminal mind to a degree when fighting identity theft. This article is geared toward victims of identity theft, or potential victims, however law enforcement may learn a thing or two by reading this information them self.


Thieves do not care what they have to do and how dirty the job is to get it done when desire, greed, and other inhumane emotions flare. Thieves will go through trashcans, bribes employees, break in homes, practice hacking skills, kill, et cetera to get what they want. Thieves utilize power and control, scheme, and contemplate cautiously when carry out crimes. The majority of thieves does not do something spontaneously or act on emotions when committing crimes. Scandalous offenders are often ahead of the game, by planning ahead of the crime and learning strategies as they plan.


The criminal mind is a mysterious, yet familiar habitat. Criminals study forensics, law, technology and other developments and studies carefully to learn how the source acts, respond to crime, plan to prevent, and so forth.


Let me give you an example of a criminal mind by illustrating a case study. One criminal minded soul studied for years how the forensics-investigated crimes, including studying to great links how finger prints and other information was produced during the cases. Thus, the criminal minded individual studied, but relented when he felt there was no way to commit the crimes he had in mind. Therefore, an instance the criminal delayed, however, it does not happen often. Therefore, the criminal minded person will continue his studying by analyzing all the information he gathered throughout his life, until one day he sees a modus operandi that will help him commit the perfect crime. The case study was conducted by myself, however, petty crimes were committed throughout this persons life, and as I helped this person to think logically and avoid criminal activities, I know in time he will do exactly what I encouraged and fought hard to prevent him from doing...that is murder. The person illustrated has Psychopathic Tendencies, Oppositional Defiant, Schizophrenia, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders, Intermittent Explosive Disorders, and other disorders that pose a serious threat to our society.


This one criminal oriented mind has also stolen, yet was never prosecuted for the crime. The criminal minds are cunning, swift, conniving, venturous, and the list continues. Often criminals are smarter than the average, simply because they have the ability to listen and hear ongoing, yet only listening and hearing the things that help them productively carry out the crimes.


Identity theft is one of the leading crimes in the world that has broken the trust of nearly every one in existence. Nowadays, mothers, fathers, sons, brothers, sisters, daughters, nieces, nephews and other family members find it hard to trust even the people they love.


The world is heading in a disastrous direction, simply because the world has variants of directions to follow with on focus in mind. Who can make more money than the next guy can? This is what our system promotes and pushes, thus why should we expect anything less than identity thieves, murder, and other crimes from occurring.


To protect your self against identity theft you should read all information and adhere to the warnings provided worldwide. While the UK is placing chips in their credit/debit cards believing that they have the solution for fighting identity theft, thieves are conjuring modus operandi to get past the chips are succeeding every day.


Tips for preventing identity theft include:


Remember that anyone, including you can be the next victim. Never set your self up for a hard fall, such as thinking "It only happens to the misfortune." Alternatively, thinking, "It can never happen to me." This is opening your world up to vulnerability where criminals frequent daily. In other words, criminals often search for vulnerable areas to attack.
