Question by : Who I contact first about Identity Fraud?
I have information about an individual who has allowed his relative to work under his Social Security number so that he could gain citizenship this country. Both he and his significant other were in on this scam. The relative would work in his name and allow child support to garnish his wages for support to the significant other. Now he has his citizenship, this is not right.

Best answer:

Answer by ca_surveyor
YOu can contact the INS regarding the fraudulent citizenship.
You can contact the social services agency about the garnishment issue.
You can contact both the SS department AND the IRS regarding the fraudulent use of the SS#
You can contact the IRS regarding fraudulent tax returns against the relative since he did not report income.
. (you might even get a reward for that one.. the IRS pays 10% of the recovery to tipsters).
You can contact the local DA if you can prove that any of them signed papers under the penalty of perjury.

That should be enough to float your boat.
