Question: 
What is this term “Synthetic Identity,” I keep hearing about?
Answer: 

Criminals know that one of the best methods for loan frauds is to use a synthetic identity. Using a fake name and a real social security number or a real name and a Credit Profile number produces a new identity. By using this technique the fraudster can be successful if your staff isn’t reviewing applications carefully.
