In 2017, over 16 million businesses and individuals lost over $16 billion to identity thieves. The monetary losses only tell part of the story. Especially to older individuals who are one of the most frequent targets. Identity theft is a very unsettling experience and for some folks a very difficult thing to overcome, especially if all your money is gone and you need to start over.

Thankfully, identity theft also has severe consequences for the thieves. Tennessee has very complex identity theft laws. Additionally, violators can be prosecuted under simple theft statutes. Physically taking property is not the only way to steal it. People who use threats, deception, tricks, and other non-violent means to deprive the owner of the use of property all face severe penalties. And, regardless of the identity theft punishment, any theft is a crime of moral turpitude. These convictions may haunt you forever and also have immigration consequences.
