underisk@lemmy.ml 10 hours agomy dude nobody is using a stolen identity to go to a bar. they’re taking out lines of credit and you don’t have to always present a physical, photo ID for those because there entire industries of creditors that have no physical location. you don’t even seem to be aware of the reasons why someone would bother stealing someone’s identity so if you’d like to continue this argument I invite you to have it with yourself.

And legit creditors just need your SSN, address, and maybe an old address. They run a credit check (hence why you freeze that shit) and then you are driving away in your 4k a month pickup truck.
And less legit creditors… don’t ask too many questions other than where you live and where your loved ones love.
But hey. Feel free to throw a hissy fit rather than think through why that plastic card actually doesn’t matter anywhere near as much as you thought it did. I mean, it would be nicer if you could actually sit and think and learn. But this is the 2020s. Ain’t nobody doing introspection.
