Re: And what is the average credit score for a convicted fellon?

Not all identity theft is about applying for credit in someone's name. If you were an illegal immigrant who wanted to use someone else's social security number to get a job, you couldn't do better than a prison inmate's number - you don't have to worry about him getting a job and raising red flags when there are W2s for full time jobs in two different states.
