ID Theft

ID Theft Attorney in New York

Perhaps nearly every student has, at some time or another, signed a parent’s name to a permission slip or detention notification. We may consider this type of mischief to be an error in judgment or a mistake that we expect a young person to grow out of. On a grander scale, however, falsely signing a facsimile of someone else’s signature or using someone else’s electronic sign-in information can lead to criminal charges.

 Representing New Yorkers Charged With ID Theft

If you have been charged with ID theft in New York, you should contact the Law Office of Mark J. Sacco for legal advice and representation.

Allegations that you committed ID theft can arise in a number of different ways. You may be accused of any of the following illegal acts regarding someone else’s identification:

  • Forgery
  • Using a forged signature of someone else to obtain a credit card or business loan, sign for a package at the post office or open a bank account.
  • Use of unauthorized ID information to generate fake gift cards
  • “Phishing” for passwords and confidential account information via e-mail or other electronic solicitations
  • Accepting and cashing checks (such as Social Security checks or Medicare refunds) for family members who have died — or who are still alive, but did not authorize you to take these actions.
  • Credit card fraud involving another person’s account, signature or identification
  • Applying for federal student aid using forged signatures
  • Filing income tax returns using forged signatures
