Reporter youre in the backseat of a car for a guided tour. Work vans are easy to steal. Reporter a convicted identity thief. Hide fullon credit cards to bill companies. Reporter shes spilling her devious and devastating secrets. That chevy, because look at it. Its probably got a ton of stuff in it. You had a pile of purses . I have wallet. Reporter alice, not her real name, has agreed to drive around with doug. I dont know how people sleep at night. Reporter a longtime fraud investigator now with the aarp. Any kind of fraud scam, you can possibly imagine. Reporter after years chasing identity thieves and con artists, he decided to do something, it seemed no one else had tried. Asking the convicted bad guys themselves to show him how they do it. To his surprise, many love to talk. Dont leave your pin number in your wallet. She knew all the places to go. How long they were going to be gone. The easiest car to break into. They stole 900,000 in the last threemonth run that she was doing. She had a little group of people. One guy that could make i. D. S, another guy that knew how to swipe all the laptops and put them up on the cloud. It was quite a little posse. Reporter and it is a maddening problem. Affecting more than 16 million americans every year. To the tune of 24. 7 billion. Thats billion with a b, in losses. Even worse, were all at risk, even if you think youre doing everything right. Just look at the headlines. Every week seems to bring news of another Company Getting hit. Target, home depot, saks fifth avenue. The list just keeps going. Its not just high tech hackers going after big companies. Thieves can set up fake wifi hot spots for you to logon to. Or there are skimmers who just swipe your card on a card reader like this guy, caught at a fast food drive through. Identity theft is the biggest property crime in the united states. And it is high tech low tech no tech. Reporter Identity Theft has become such a part of every day life, hollywood built a movie around it. Theres a criminal who stole your identity. Oh. With Melissa Mccarthy playing the title role in eidentity thief and running up a scorching tab in someone elses name. Not sure where to start. Reporter its a lot less funny in real life. The day the movie came out, amy discovered she was a victim. I will never forget that feeling, youre looking at your credit report, im scrolling down, my names not that name. I dont live at that address. I dont work at those employers. I dont have accounts at these companies. Reporter the battle shes waged to reclaim her name, her good credit, everything now covers her dining room table. Utility companies were very popular. We have stores where goods were purchased online. Really theres no threshold for what a criminal with your Social Security number will do. Reporter when someones identity is stolen what does the thief want to do with it . What theyre trying to do is use your good credit worthiness for themselves. Reporter most of the time, what theyre doing is taking over your existing accounts and using them to buy stuff for themselves. And then they either fence it or they sell it or whatever. Reporter in the case of our thief, alice, some of her favorite targets, simple stuff. Often right out in the open, just sitting on a car seat. Backpacks, thats like, ah, come break my car window. What does a backpack have it . Usually a laptop. Its full of goodies. Full of goodies. Always is. Reporter even easier and less risky, a thieves shopping aisle, available in every town. Mailboxes. Its compulsive now. I will take mail out of the b l mailbox. I dont look like im a criminal. Reporter shes really an astute observer of human ben have your. Yes, yes. I think thats what conartists have in common. The capacity to put yourself in the mind of the other person, long enough its like casing the joint. Theyre casing your brain in a sense. So, they all have that. What they dont have is the sympathetic aspect of empathy to not steal from you. Reporter with so many thieves just like alice walking among us, whats an upstanding person to do . For starters, get a lock on your mailbox. Shred Important Documents before tossing them. And sign up for Online Access to all your accounts so you can keep a close eye on them. You have to encrypt and protect the data on your computers. Your laptop, your smartphone, everything you have. It is so easy to steal an identity and it so difficult to fix it. Reporter amy says she doesnt know how she became a target for an identity thief but she filed a Police Report and the cops actually caught a suspect who lived nearby and who later pleaded guilty. But fixing all the damage is still a work in progress. I have yet to pull my credit reports and not see some fraudulent activity on them. You have to prove to them you are who you say you are, to a greater extent than the criminal ever had to do to be given goods and services. Reporter theres an old saying. Know thy enemy. Doug thought he knew his until he spent some time driving around with one. You learned new tips driving around with her. Absolutely. Oh, theres no question about it. You ive changed my own behavior. Reporter im Neal Karlinsky for nightline in seattle. Up next, luke bryan, fresh out of nashville and ready to show us how he rocks. Gela, and i quit smoking with chantix. People who know me, to this day they say, i never thought you would quit. You know, i really didnt either but chantix helped me do it. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. It gave me the power to overcome the urge to smoke. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. If you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be lifethreatening. Tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. Im a nonsmoker; that feels amazing. Ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. siren wails pop music playing when youre ready ready, ready, ready come and get it get it, get it when youre ready, come and get it na na na na na na na na na na na when youre ready, come and get it na na na na.

I love reading about your dad saying, if you dont go, im going to fire you. Right. Reporter are there any moments that you really pinpoint as a time, i think i should head back .

A puppy dog around his wife and their two little boys. We manage it all. Ill fly out for a show, fly home and bring the kids out for a couple of shows and head home. So, its we make it work. Holding a beer in my hand reporter hes also the Fraternity Rush chair of country music. Singing about chasing girls and partying hard. His first hit in 2007, all my friends say became a frat boy anthem. What all my friends say reporter as title that makes luke bristle, like that fourletter word in his industry, brocountry. That really aggravates me. Reporter brocountry implies to songs that are as shallow as a beer glass and object if i women. Ive hit a nerve. Dont judge me on one song, you know . Judge me on a body, on a career. Reporter if thats the biggest controversy in luke bryans life, he may just be able to stay here. In that sweet spot where fame is fun, even manageable, if he can stay grounded. I do a couple songs and its a good warmup. Good thing for the fans. Little intimate. Reporter on the cusp of mainstream pop star status, one question for luke will be how close he stays to his country roots.

And i want you to think about them and have a sip of your beer. So im gonna reporter luke was the youngest of three siblings.
