KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The latest form of identity theft doesn't depend on stealing your Social Security number. Now thieves are targeting your kid's number long before the little one even has a bank account.

Hundreds of online businesses are using computers to find dormant Social Security numbers — usually those assigned to children who don't use them — then selling those numbers under another name to help people establish phony credit and run up huge debts they will never pay off.

Authorities say the scheme could pose a new threat to the nation's credit system. Because the numbers exist in a legal gray area, federal investigators have not figured out a way to prosecute the people involved.

"If people are obtaining enough credit by fraud, we're back to another financial collapse," said Linda Marshall, an assistant U.S. attorney in Kansas City. "We tend to talk about it as the next wave."

The sellers get around the law by not referring to Social Security numbers. Instead, just as someone might pay for an escort service instead of a prostitute, they refer to CPNs — for credit profile, credit protection or credit privacy numbers.

Julia Jensen, an FBI agent in Kansas City, discovered the scheme while investigating a mortgage-fraud case. She has given presentations to lenders across the Kansas City area to show them how easy it is to create a false credit score using these numbers.

"The back door is wide open," she said. "We're trying to get lenders to understand the risks."

It's not clear how widespread the fraud is, mostly because the scheme is difficult to detect and practiced by fly-by-night businesses.

But the deception is emerging as millions of Americans watch their credit scores sink to new lows. Figures from April show that 25.5 percent of consumers — nearly 43.4 million people — now have a credit score of 599 or below, marking them as poor risks for lenders. They will have trouble getting credit cards, auto loans or mortgages under the tighter lending standards banks now use.

The scheme works like this.... Social Security Fraud

(CNN) -- Nine people died in a mass shooting Tuesday at a workplace in Manchester, Connecticut, according to a police official close to the investigation.

That number includes the shooter. He died at the scene of a gunshot wound, Manchester police Lt. Joe San Antonio said. Police had not fired at him, he added.

The suspect was Omar Thornton, said Sgt. Sandy Ficara of the Manchester Police.

The shooting happened at Hartford Distributors, a beer distributor close to the communities of South Windsor and Manchester, a South Windsor dispatcher said.

Three people were rushed to Hartford Hospital, and one of them later died, a doctor told reporters.

Police declined to say how many people were wounded.

Police in the community of South Windsor were assisting Manchester police in handling the incident, authorities said.

Justin Bieber set to star in a film about his life


SERIOUSLY?? He's 16. A memoir and a movie about his life????

Your guesses, I must say, are quite interesting.

Mark was close in calling it a game.

Above are the maps I created for "Faces of Darkness".

It's playable on vBulletin forums. Because they have the WYSIWYG option.

Hopefully, we'll have it here one day as well.

This forum (and probably ever other one) is a pain in the ass to view using a blackberry. Its all the internet I've got though.

LN,

Yes, I can imagine what a pain it is.

I guess that explains where you've been. Nice to see you back though. How's the baby????

Didn't Miley Cyrus already release a biography? In my opinion that's alot more ridiculous as Bieber has become a cultural phenomenom and Miley Cyrus is probably just a flavour of the week.

Despite past statements by federal agencies such as the TSA that images from body scanners were not and could not be saved or recorded, a government agency has admitted to storing approximately 35,000 body scan images, CNET reports.

According to CNET, "U.S. Marshals Service admitted this week that it had surreptitiously saved tens of thousands of images recorded with a millimeter wave system at the security checkpoint of a single Florida courthouse."

The resolution and detail of the body scan images varies depending on the technology used in the scanner (i.e. X-ray backscatter vs millimeter wave. See full-body millimeter wave images below, via TSA.gov).

Privacy advocates have denounced the machines for generating images so graphic they are tantamount to "virtual strip-searching," and minors were recently barred from passing through the controversial full body scanners over child pornography fears.
