What can a person do if they find someone else w-2?
Well, hopefully that person will do the right thing and return the w-2 to the sender. If they mailed it off to your previous address of record, and it's not too far away, you may want to consider asking the landlord (or new owner) if they can watch for it. Obviously, if they open it (which is mail fraud), in the "wrong hands" they can steal your identity. I would ask your previous employer if they have a copy or can get a copy as well, in the event that the current occupant of the home doesn't return it.
What do you do if you find someones drivers license?
The postal service used to have a box that you could put drivers license in to get the license back to the correct owner. I think they still have this service. You could always drop the license off at your local DMV office or your local police department. All of the above listed ways will get the license back to the owner. You could also mail the license to the address listed on the license. You might check and see if the license is expired before you do anything. If it is expired it isn't any good for anything other than the owners private info listed on the license. Make sure it is a drivers license and not an ID card. Some states ID cards are just like their drivers license other than it saying ID card instead of drivers license. Even if the card is expired don't destroy it yourself. Let the owner do that. The card legally belongs to the state, the owner is just being allowed to use it as his/her license to drive courtesy of the state.
Each State has a period where vital records are not public. Until the date, only certain people can get someone’s birth certificate.They are:The person themselvesTheir spouseTheir childrenTheir parentsTheir legal representativeAfter the time limit is over (it is usually 70 years, mostly), then the general public can send in the fee and get a copy.Go to the Vital Records site for the State that you were born in. Look at what the requirements are for getting a copy of yours. If you want to mail the request in, print out the document that is needed, fill it out, make a copy of your ID and send it and the form in with payment.
What happens if you put someone elses apple ID into your iPhone?
If you log into your phone using someone else's Apple ID, they will get an email notifying them that a new device has activated that ID. If you use someone else's Apple ID in your iMessage, they will get a text popup on their screen that says their phone number is being used for iMessage on whatever type of device you have. On your phone, it will say that it's validating your credentials with the other person. If it gets validated, you will receive whatever you have checkmarked (i.e. safari history, texts, facetime calls, notes, mail,...etc.) Don't do this unless you have their permission.
What happens if you get caught using someone else's ID?
What happens if you get caught is going depend on who the bouncer/doorman is and the club/bars policy. Best case scenario if caught, they give you your ID back and won't allow you to enter. Worst case scenario (and I have seen this happen) they call the cops and you are arrested on Identity Theft charges. They will also visit the person whose ID it is and give them the option to either A) press charges for theft against you or B) be arrested for aiding a minor. There's a lot of in-between that can happen as well, above is just best/worst case scenarios. Also, think about if you actually get let in and something happens (ie fight) and cops come they will want to see everyone's ID. If you have been drinking and the cops can tell that is not your ID, you will be in a lot of trouble. Is 1 night in the club worth a criminal record, lots and lots of fines and attorney fees and possibly jail???
Someone used my name while being arrested. What can I do?
So I find out that an old friend of mine has used my name while being arrested. Now police are trying to say that I have an alias of his name with his extensive criminal record. After speaking with the police department that made the initial arrest, they told me that nothing could be done and I would have to get a card or something that states the name mix-up. Thats the most bull I have ever heard. There has to be some type of legal action I can take against them for being so incompetent to let someone use someone elses clear name with no ID to prove it, and I know there has to be a way for this to get cleared up. This is all in Michigan if that matters.
First, there is a difference between "booking" a room and paying for a room. Did they actually have their credit card charged online or did they just reserve the room with their credit card?Next, any competent hotel is going to ask to see the credit card and photo ID, verify it is in your name, and swipe it to get the best rates for processing of the credit card.If your friends parents booked the room and are not there, then they will not "usually" check you in. Why? How does the hotel know whether the room was booked by some teenager who got their parents card out of their Dad's wallet or Mom's purse to go have some fun with their friends?Or, how would the hotel know if it was just a stolen credit card number? The answer is they don't and if the hotel is smart, they won't let you check in unless the person paying for the room has signed ahead of time a credit card authorization form, complete with their full mailing address, contact information, copies of the front and back of the credit card and a photo ID, with a signature on the form that matches the credit card stating it's ok for this individual to charge the room (and any damages) to their card.That way if something does happen, the parents can't deny the charges to their bank because the hotel has all the appropriate documentation to give to their credit card processor verifying the parents authorized the charges.So after all the reasons why a well run hotel will not let you check in, be smart, call the hotel, have them send a credit card authorization form to the people saying it's ok to charge their card for the entire room charges (and damages if any), have that faxed or emailed back to the hotel so it's all OK before you arrive. Be sure to call the hotel's front desk manager, or hotel general manager, prior to arrival to make sure they received it and that there will be no issues with you checking in.Then be a good guest and not cause any noise disturbances, or trash the room, treat the room like you would at your grandmothers, and be respectful that this is someone else's' property who they worked hard to have a nice quiet place for guests to stay and you then will be welcomed back.

Has anyone had their electric put into someone elses name to get it turned back on?
They might, but it doesn't mean you're not responsible for the original bill, usage for the 3 months of illegal service and cost of the meter and tampering....which they WILL charge you for. I worked at a call center for an electric company based out of Texas and that's how it went there at least. Anyone can open an account if they pay the deposit but then the "friend" will also get stuck with your bill when you don't pay it either. The company I worked for pretty much opened an account for anyone, as long as you had a state ID # and/or social security number to verify the name of the person opening the account. They normally check for any old debts and that must be paid before new service can start.
Most people couldn't or wouldn't do anything with your passport information.Identity theft (for the purposes of fraud) would be your biggest concern. Most identity thieves are not going to steal your money, they will use your identity to get credit cards and loans and / or buy goods and leave you with a debt you never knew you had.The information on the passport alone is not enough on it's own to set up a usable false identity, but it does give the identity theif a couple of useful clues (more than they would get from a driver's license) that they can then use to get the other information they need.It takes a few bits of information to successfully “steal” an identity. You would be surprised how much of this information people just give up in “normal” conversation if the identity theif knows the right way to steer the conversation.A good and determined identity thief will be able to get all the information they need to impersonate you on line and run up debts from several different sources. You have probably already provided a lot of this information yourself and don't know it ( just think how often you have written your name, address and telephone number on forms and online) and a lot of other information is open to the public.Everyone needs to be vigilant - get regular credit reports etc. But, in this day and age, you can't stop identity theft.
