Here are some examples of illegal activities using stolen ID information: 1. **Setting up fake companies to commit fraud** - Criminal gangs use stolen IDs to register shell companies, forge relevant business qualification documents, and then sign contracts with victims in the name of the company. For example, they claim to provide victims with low-priced imported goods, but require a high advance payment first. After receiving the advance payment, the criminals disappear without a trace, causing financial losses to the victims. - Or they fabricate projects and promise high returns to investors on the grounds that the company needs capital turnover, attract a large amount of capital investment, and then take the funds for themselves. 2. **Malicious overdraft of bank credit cards** - ID theft uses the obtained identity information to successfully apply for a credit card at the bank. Then they make malicious overdrafts, buy high-end goods, make extravagant consumption, etc., and refuse to repay when the repayment period arrives, causing losses to the bank. In the process of collecting the money, the bank often finds the real owner of the ID card, which brings credit stains and financial disputes to the innocent person. - Some people will also use multiple credit cards obtained by stolen IDs to cash each other out, forming a capital circulation chain and swindling a large amount of cash from the bank. 3. **Online loan fraud** - Criminals use stolen ID information to register accounts and apply for loans on various online lending platforms. They usually fill in false loan purposes and repayment ability information. After obtaining the loan, they either refuse to repay the loan and let the loan platform send collection information to the ID card owner's contact information, causing the ID card owner to fall into unnecessary trouble; or continue to defraud the victim in the name of "handling fees" and "security deposits", requiring the victim to pay fees before withdrawing the loan, ultimately causing the victim to suffer double losses. - For example, some criminals specifically target individuals who are in urgent need of small amounts of funds, use stolen ID cards to apply for loans on multiple online loan platforms, and then flee after accumulating high amounts of loan funds. 4. **Telecom fraud account opening** - Stolen ID cards are used to register mobile phone numbers, apply for telecommunications service packages, etc., and then commit telecommunications fraud. Criminals use these mobile phone numbers to send fraudulent text messages to a large number of users, such as winning fraud, impersonating public security, procuratorial and judicial fraud, etc. When the police investigate, the ID card owner may be mistaken for a fraudster, causing great trouble and legal risks to himself. - For example, criminals use the mobile phone numbers obtained through stolen ID cards to send fraudulent text messages to many users, saying "You have won a huge prize, and you need to pay a handling fee before you can collect the prize money", causing many people to be deceived. 5. **Using identity to conduct illegal activities to evade punishment** - After some illegal and criminal acts occur, criminals use other people's ID card information to attempt to make the real ID card owner bear legal responsibility. For example, after someone commits a theft, he uses another person's ID card to register for accommodation and leaves evidence of the crime. During the investigation, the police may first lock on the ID card owner, bringing him the risk of being wrongly held criminally responsible. - In traffic violations, some people use other people's ID card information to deal with violations, evading punishment for their real illegal records, affecting traffic management order and other people's traffic safety credit.
