Aggravated Identity Theft is an especially serious form of identity theft. It occurs when a person uses another’s identity to commit a felony or to cause financial or physical harm to the victim. It is typically used in cases of fraud, such as when a person uses another person’s identity to obtain credit cards, loans, or other financial services. The three main types of Aggravated Identity Theft are: 1. Identity theft for financial gain: This involves using someone else’s identity to obtain financial benefit, such as opening a bank account, obtaining a loan, or using a credit card. 2. Identity theft for physical harm: This involves using someone else’s identity to commit a crime, such as identity theft for the purpose of stealing a car or entering someone else’s home. 3. Identity theft for fraud: This involves using someone else’s identity for fraudulent purposes, such as filing a false tax return or filing a false insurance claim. Aggravated identity theft is a serious crime that can carry harsh penalties, including jail time and hefty fines. Victims of aggravated identity theft may also be able to recover financial losses and obtain compensation for emotional distress.
