Identity Fraud Map Novels & Stories

When he saw my confused expression, he couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry, my bad. I'm Isahiah, Jayden's best friend and business partner, and I think we need to talk," he said, getting serious all of a sudden. When I heard his name, I suddenly remembered that Jayden talked about his best friend Isahiah, the one who told him to unwind before his flight to Macau, the night when I abducted him. Based on the tone of his voice, I'm guessing that he knows something about Jayden, so I agree to follow him back to the office.

“Did you or did you not open an account at Banco Sabadell in June?” “No. I’ve never banked with Sabadell…” “Your signature is on the application.” He shows me the document. It’s my signature, my handwriting, my identification documents. “But I didn’t sign this…” “Then someone forged it. Someone with access to your personal information and identification. Someone like your father.” Marina is flipping through pages. “This is identity fraud. My client is a victim…” “Or a co-conspirator who is now claiming ignorance because her father conveniently died before he could testify.”

“Ms. Garcia—” “Office address. Government ID. Employment verification. Relevant criminal background checks. That’s enough.” “Residential addresses are required for a full-spectrum risk assessment.” “Not for florists, production leads, or legal counsel whose jobs are to choose cable routes and make sure the bride’s grandmother doesn’t fall into the pool.” “Residential verification reduces the risk of identity fraud,” Rafael finally said. “So do government ID and employment verification.” “Not always.”

Promises of exposure. But no specifics. No demands. No clear motive beyond damaging the pack’s standing. “Can I ask what you’re working on right now?” Julian gestured to my tablet. “Mapping the IP addresses. Trying to trace origin points.” “Find anything?” “Multiple locations. All outside our territory. Whoever this is, they’re moving around or using relay points to mask their real location.” “Smart.” Julian frowned. “Most rival packs are not sophisticated enough for this level of operational security. They’d just send a challenge directly.”

But someone existed. Nadia was already opening a second browser window. “Regional papers from that era often kept separate advertising books,” she said. “Obituaries, announcements, classified ads—everything was billed.” Marcus leaned forward. “Even if the name was fake?” “Maybe,” Nadia replied. “But payments leave patterns. Addresses. Telephone numbers. Account references. Handwriting.” Felix nodded. “A false identity can hide a person. It rarely hides every transaction.” For the first time since the newspaper appeared, the mystery felt reachable.

"This is helpful." "Just one more thing," Marco adds as we're turning to leave. "The person who wanted that identity? They had me rush it. They needed it created and the car registered within forty-eight hours. That's unusual. Most people who want fake IDs are planning something long-term. But this? This was someone who needed a fall guy, fast." A fall guy. Someone to take the blame for Isabella's death. And that was me.

My biometric profile. Except The timestamp read: Created 11 days ago. And the ID tag read: Jamal-02. I stared. “…What is that?” Layla folded her arms. “A perfect copy. Well perfect enough.” “No. No, I would know” “Would you?” She cocked a brow. “Because I’m not sure you even know which one you are.” Something inside me twisted. I stepped closer to the screen, reading the data. Neurological mapping. Cognitive layering. Memory grafts.

They brought me some soup and it smells good but I'm scared. Hamish's feeling increased even more. He had heard this voice before somewhere. And the woman's voice soothed his troubled mind. * What if they put drugs in the soup? I may be living my last moments in freedom or even alive...* She blurted out in a whisper. Hamish smiles despite the urgency of the young woman's situation... * You have to help me. I sent you information about them on your I*******m page and I managed to take a photo of them so if I disappear you will know where I am... Sorry... Sorry to bother you but I need of you.*

That wasn’t a building number, it was a code. Without wasting another second, she yanked her phone from her back pocket, hands trembling slightly as she opened her notes app and began typing the digits. Then she paused. Instead of treating it like an address, she typed the number as a passcode, a numerical keyword used in the encrypted map app she’d once used with her contact, back when things were still quiet. The moment she hit enter, a hidden address flashed onto her screen: “The Underpass, Old Dock Road, Sector 9.”

“I'm getting the hell out of here and will be sure to give you a poor rating on Yelp!” “Miss Newman?” A man spoke from behind me, aggravating my anger. “What do you want?” I spat, turning toward him as he brought out a paperwork alongside a pair of handcuffs from his pockets, and my heart dropped instantly. I was so fucking toast. “You got the wrong person,” I fibbed, and tried to walk past the man, but then, another man blocked my path. “We are certain that you are the person we are looking for,” The man spoke. “You are under arrest for identity fraud, in relation to caller ID spoofing.”
