There are countless negative affects of Identity Theft, in fact one can say there are two many to count. Identity Theft can damage you mentally, physically, and financially.
If your friends thought you were saying things about or too them that were not true, both of you would suffer emotionally. This can happen online when someone steals your identity. A theft can use programs such as chat rooms, msn, and myspace to pretend to be you, and since no one can see your face, they won’t know it isn’t you. The worst thing is you might not even know your identity has been stolen and won’t understand why people are acting differently towards you.
If a thief gains access to your online bank account, they can access your money and do whatever they want with it. If you don’t have security measures in place, you might not be aware that someone is stealing your money. You can lose thousands of dollars, and the loss of large sums of money. If someone has your name and credit card number, they can use your money until the credit runs out or you realize something is wrong. This money you might never get back. Identity theft can also negatively affect your credit history, and it is hard to fix the damage caused by identity theft.
