However, if an illegal alien is using an eligible customer's social security number (SSN), involving the I.R.S.'s fraud department may be necessary to make sure that the fraud victim isn't responsible for the additional tax burden created by the additional income erroneously reported on their SSN.

Freedom ID™ Theft Protection** will create a comprehensive case file during the resolution process that documents identified fraud and resolution work. This can be used by law enforcement and prosecuting attorneys to assist the prosecution of perpetrators of identity theft. This case file could also be used if there is a claim filed by a fraud victim with the company for reimbursement pursuant to an identity theft reimbursement or other applicable insurance policy to determine the nature, extent and/or validity of an identity theft claim.


Active Post Fraud Follow Up - Once the case is determined to be "CLOSED", the eligible customer will receive a six (6) month follow up from their fraud specialist to make sure that there is no more activity and that identity resolution has been successful. Since identify-related information is ever growing, there is still the opportunity for an identity thief to commit further fraud once a case has been closed.
