I was ghosted after an employer took copies of my drivers license for a background check. Go ahead roast me for being so dumb.

No roasting here either. Being unemployed makes you desperate, and being desperate coincides with poor decision making. I'm sorry that happened to you. Please make sure you're monitoring your credit to make sure they're not able to open any bogus accounts in your name. It's also probably worth going to the DMV and getting a new license.

Not going to roast you. The biggest risk with identity theft is people using your identity to open accounts or apply for credit in your name.

With only copies of your ID, they might get past most online account identity verification steps. Fiverr, for example, may just require a photo.

The bigger risk is credit. I recommend you freeze your credit at the big 3 credit report agencies. This may require a phone call. You will be given a p in code if you need to unlock your credit report for cases like applying to a new credit card in the future. Good luck!

I did that last week for an AI trainer platform. They needed to verify my identity, so I put all that info in there. Then I failed a communication test, and that is the end of that.

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.
