520			_a"The Federal Trade Commission estimates that identity theft costs nearly $53 billion annually. Some seven million people were victimized in 2002. Yet little is known about how the perpetrators actually operate. It's a popular perception that most identity theft happens on the Internet, but...low-tech methods of getting people's personal information are far more effective." (NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE) This article presents the story of Stephen Massey, the man responsible for directing "one of the most extensive and notorious identity-theft rings prosecuted so far by federal authorities." Included is information about schemes developed by thieves to access personal information and the difficulties law enforcement officials encounter when investigating identity-theft cases.
