From the Federal Trade Commission:
I first was notified that someone had used my Social Security number for their taxes in February 2004. I also found out that this person opened a checking account, cable and utility accounts, and a cell phone account in my name. I'm still trying to clear up everything and just received my income tax refund after waiting four to five months. Trying to work and get all this cleared up is very stressful.

From the Department of Justice:
Some criminals engage in "dumpster diving" - going through your garbage cans or a communal dumpster or trash bin - to obtain copies of your checks, credit card or bank statements, or other records that typically bear your name, address, and even your telephone number. These types of records make it easier for criminals to get control over your accounts in your name and assume your identity.
