  Identity theft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Identity theft (or identity fraud) is the deliberate assumption of another person's identity, usually to gain access to their finances or frame them for a crime.
While identity theft appears to cover the entire waterfront of bad acts done while pretending to be someone else, assuming a false identity with the knowledge and approval of the person being impersonated, such as for cheating on an exam, is not considered to be identity theft.
Identity fraud is often committed without identity theft, as in the case of relatives who have been granted access to personal records, or criminals who randomly generate credit card numbers for fraud without even knowing the name of the victim.

 Identity Over Time
For an advocate of relative identity denying that the earlier statue is the same statue as the later lump of clay is consistent with allowing that the earlier statue is the same lump of clay as the later lump of clay.
The charge that the memory criterion conflicts with the transitivity of identity was illustrated by the famous case of the schoolboy, the young lieutenant and the elderly general (Reid 1975).
Hence, the memory criterion implies, contrary to the transitivity of identity, that, although the elderly general is the same person as the young lieutenant, and the young lieutenant is the same person as the schoolboy, the elderly general is not the same person as the young schoolboy.
