I do somewhat agree with you here that everyone knows that she requires a photo ID so it's sort of pointless to bring it up. However, lots of people (most people?) have had identity theft issues. I actually find it more interesting now because in the early 2000s, you'd get a fraudulent charge from Germany or something. Nowadays, they're smarter so the charge comes from a few miles away (as an aside, I've always wondered what my doppelgangers look like).
But the credit card issues are small and nowadays, I find that the bank already has it flagged before I ever notice it. The real issue is bigger items like how I apparently co-signed for some woman's new set of teeth. I called the doctor who did it and they stammered saying that they'd get back to me. After that, they told me not to contact them again. I told the financing bank (Synchrony/CareCredit) that it was fraudulent and they said that they'd look into it, which ended up meaning that they just put the account into default and added it to my credit report.
The thing is, I'm at the point in my life where I don't finance anything anyway so the credit report/score means nothing to me. However, I can tell you that unless I lawyered up, there was no way that Synchrony or that doctor were going to clear anything up on my behalf and even then, I feel that there's no guarantee that anything would be ruled in my favor anyway as they wouldn't even give me the woman's information.
