Question

For someone to be guilty of identity theft, that person must take all of the following actions, EXCEPT:
(1 point)
obtaining someone else’s personal information.
using someone’s personal information without permission.
committing a crime while pretending to be someone else.
sending fake emails from someone else’s email account.

Answer 1

Answer: sending fake emails from someone else’s email account.

Explanation: Identity theft requires obtaining and using another person’s personal identifying information (typically to commit fraud or other unlawful acts, e.g., pretending to be them to commit a crime). Merely sending a fake email from someone’s account, without using their personal identifying information or committing fraud, is not necessarily identity theft.
