Even in Death Your Identity Is Not Safe

Gregory Victor Revson, 49, of Islamorada, FL received his sentence for convictions of identity theft and passport fraud.  In 2006 and 2008 Revson had fraudulently applied for and received passports for deceased persons.  At the time of his arrest, Revson had a thumb drive in his possession containing the names, addresses, SSN's of hundreds of deceased.  Apparently he thought that his scheme was working well.

Revson received a sentence of 75 month with an additional 14 months added to his sentence for violating the terms of supervised release related to a previous 2002 conviction for identity theft and wire fraud.

Just because you've died doesn't mean that you can't become a victim of identity theft.  That is just one more thing for your loved ones to have to worry about after you're gone is the risk of identity theft.
