Like the Friend’s episode where Monica’s cc info is stolen and the woman who stole it is living the life - eating out, dance lessons, gatecrashing parties, auditioning for Broadway musicals - things Monica was too ‘in her shell’ to do. She inspired Monica to live a little.
Rockford ran into a stolen identity ring in one episode.
A few bucks to the county for a birth certificate.
She got busted because her story was so elaborate and was impossible to remember and keep straight. Had she kept it simple she may not have been caught. But serial liars can’t control themselves.
It’s not much of a cheese shop is it?
I bet she voted as well. Does she now qualify as a Soros backed candidate for District Attorney?
She should have gotten elected first. Big mistake.
It’s not a complicated algorithm to run against databases to ‘flag’ certain individuals who have adopted the identity of the deceased.
I guarantee that this sort of fraud will become increasingly difficult as the years progress (at least in the US).
(and was even featured on the Food Network’s The Best Thing I Ever Ate.)
That would an interesting episode
Hey it only took 3 years for something the rest of us could get in 10 days to 3 weeks.
C’mon man!!
Well that might be the case now. It wasn't the case in recent decades. Lots of states didn't cross-reference death certificates to birth certificates. Probably with all the money spent by the NSA after 9/11, that hole is starting to be plugged. The move to requiring REAL ID Act of 2005 compliant ID's for travel on aircraft and other activities has prompted many states to upgrade the integrity of their vital records. Read my previous post in this thread.

And possibly multiple people. Really the states need to cross reference the death certificates and birth certificates of everyone who dies. I know that when my father died, my county had him purged from the voter rolls the same day his death certificate was issued.
I can think of one party opposed to such policies... /s
I wholeheartedly agree. There’s no excuse in a digital environment.
Interesting “day we got married story”. I wonder if these people getting uncovered is from the real ID or just bad luck.
