Colorado Identity Theft
From the Colorado Attroney General Identity Theft Resources Sheet:
“Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America. Each year, millions are victimized by this senseless crime. Technological advances and the proliferation of the Internet have only enhanced our exposure to thieves seeking to steal our identities.”
Like most other states, Colorado has laws that deal with identity theft, which can be generally defined as the unauthorized use of a person’s identifying information to fraudulently obtain goods or services. The statute itself is Colorado Criminal Code § 18-5-902.
