What are the causes and effects of identity theft ? How can we stop it from happening ?

i think a major cause of idenity theft is poverty. it is just like everything else, peole take from others to increase what they have. not caring about the impacts on the lives of those whose they have “stolen”. stopping it is the problem it has become the same as shoplifting. just enhanced for the days and times. do i think giving to the poor will help? no, because of greed. the bible speaks of idenity theft, remember the story of the brothers whom one wanted the others inherientce, he wanted it so much so that he put wool on his arms to make it appear like hair so that when his blind father touched his arm he would think it was the other brother, idenity theft! and he took his brothers inheriatnce too! the only thing we can do is pray. pray for those spirits of greed and for those who are affected.
