You are driving down the interstate a little over the speed limit. You are pulled over and you know you're guilty. That isn't a problem; you will get your ticket, pay the speeding fine and be on your way. The thought of the Identity Theft Protection you purchased isn't on your mind.
The state trooper comes to your window and says "License and registration please", going through the normal routine of checking you out making sure you aren't a felon.
All of a sudden a second trooper pulls in front of your car and the two troopers slowly walk up to your car and ask you to step out of the car. You obligate them and ask them "What is going on?" when one of thetroopers states "You have the right to remain silent..." You are being arrested!! Why...because someone had taken your identity!
There is a warrant out for your arrest for 8 unpaid speeding tickets that you didn't YOU were a victim identity theft. Luckily you have Identity Theft Protection.

Regardless of the many ways it could have been stolen, when you were gone, "You" (Actually someone acting on your behalf without your permission) accumulated tickets and the "The Real You" is now under arrest for something you didn't do.
