All it takes is capturing some of your personal information online, then filing for a refund under your name, and it even happened to someone you might not expect.
Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh said an identity thief used his personal information to collect his federal tax refund.
"If they can steal the identity of the state attorney general, they can steal the identity of everybody and they probably already have," Frosh said. "I felt violated. It didn't cost us any money, thankfully. It may have cost the federal government or the state of Maryland some money if they issued a refund to that person."
