Beware of Cunning Applicants with Stolen Social Security Numbers!
By Teresa Goodwin
Manager of the Background Investigation Division
Alliance Worldwide Investigative Group, Inc.
It never ceases to amaze me how far criminals, fraudsters and credit card thieves will go to blatantly advertise their illegal services. In my position as the Manager of the Pre-Employment Screening/Background Investigation Division at Alliance Worldwide Investigative Group, I see applications that reflect all kinds of unlawful activity that victimizes innocent people through identity theft. Employers are also potentially negatively impacted if they unknowingly hire applicants thinking they've cleared their verifications only to find out later they used trickery and illegal methods to hide their true identity.
The scams have elevated to a true art form and if you are not vigilant, thorough and knowledgeable, the offenders can easily get over on you. It's important to stay one step ahead of them because their crooked ways keep evolving as new technologies emerge. Two areas that have become a booming business for lawbreakers include the sale of Credit Profile Numbers (CPN's) and the escalation of Synthetic Name Fraud. I'll also discuss a verification method that supersedes others when it comes to identity verification. (To Read the Full Article, Click here.)
