The first known case of ID theft

Maliciously stealing someone else's identity is as old as recorded history.

Though it may well have happened earlier, the oldest case we know of is in the Bible's Old Testament. 

Jacob disguised himself with animal skins so that he could fool his blind (and mentally feeble) father into giving him the traditional blessing of the firstborn; which rightfully belonged to his brother, Esau.

Stealing someone else's personal identity is thievery, pure and simple.  It doesn't matter if it's 3000 years ago or the 21st century. 

Theft is theft... and it can be devastating.

You simply have got to take precautions.
