Identity Theft Takes Man's Power


Here is an interesting story about a man and a possible case of identity theft.


A Fort Worth man heard someone with a ladder climbing around his house. Moments later, his electricity was off.


The power company was called, and they indeed had a work order to turn off his power. Someone had told them to, but who? The power company is investigating whether it was an internal error or a prank. It is possible that someone had enough personal information to convince the power company to shut off power to this man's house.

Whatever the case, this story certainly opens up our eyes to the possible uses of identity theft. While this may not have been a huge ordeal for the man, a prank like this could harm another person
