The recent issue to come to light on the subject of identity theft is black market sale of personal info. There are people out there in cyberspace who steal electronics from banks and other institutions or maybe just raid a dumpster to obtain valuable personal info. Either way, they hop on the net and claim to have DOBs, SSN, Account numbers, and dumps (magnetic strip codes). They are acting as a sort of middle men. Not bearing the full risk of the crime, but still making a buck illegally.
The thing to keep in mind is that these are people trying to make money off fraud. They could very well be swindling each other. Maybe they don’t ever deliver information after payment or the info delivered itself turns out to be bogus just to make a quick dollar. Whatever the case may be, the plot defiantly keeps thickening.
