这是<
/p>
2002
年的电影《有种来抓我》的剧情简介。影片讲述了小弗兰
克
·
阿巴格
纳尔（莱昂纳多
·
迪卡普里奥饰演）的故事。影片主人公是一位聪明绝顶的年轻骗术大师，
曾在不同时间扮演医生、律师和飞行员的角色，在
26
个国家伪造了价值
600
万美元以上的
支票。
他成了联邦调查局有史以来伪造罪头号通缉令名单上最年轻的通缉
犯。
在影片中，
阿
巴格纳尔被虚构的联
邦调查局特工卡尔
·
汉拉提（汤姆
·<
/p>
汉克斯饰演）追捕，但后来逃脱了。
他最终成了联邦调查局专攻白
领犯罪的顾问专家。

《有种来抓我》
是一部很棒的电影，
但影片
中的事情会在现实生活中发生吗？其实，
《有种来抓我》是根据弗兰克
< br>·
阿巴格纳尔的真实故事改编的，他的行骗生涯持续了大约六
年；被抓后，曾三次逃脱监管（有一次是从飞机的厕所逃走的）
；在法国、瑞典和美
国的监
狱中总共度过了六年时光。
他现在经营一家咨询事务所，
为企业界提供防造假咨询。
他挣到
了足
够的钱，赔付了所有的受害者，如今已是大富豪。

2003
年以来，身份盗窃案变得越来越常见。很少有人会想象到，
为了预防这种改变
人生的犯罪，
采取一些预防措施有多么重要，
比如把邮件拿到邮局去寄而不是丢在信箱里等
人来取、
把文件切碎而不是直接把它们连同垃圾一道扔出去，
甚至使用几美元一支
的
（特效）
笔等等。
5
越来越多的人正在成为身份盗窃案的无名受害者。
我们花费许多时间和金钱，
去努力
挽回我们的姓名
、我们的信用、
我们的钱和我们的生活。
我们需要想方设法来保
护自己。我
们可以减少此类犯罪的机会，但是它永远不会消失。
6
这不仅仅是要求我们列一份
“该做”
和
“不该做”
事项的清单，
我们还需要改变心态。
虽然网上银行现在很常见，但国内有一大群人——即
占人口
15
％的生育高峰时期出生的一
代人——还是更喜欢用纸。
而且，
30
％的诈骗案都发生在这群人当中。
支票上有身份盗贼所
需的你的
全部信息。
如果你用圆珠笔，
笔迹可以用一般的家用化学药品除
去，
钱数可以更改。
每天发出的空头支票高达
< br>120
万张以上，平均每秒
13
张以上。
7
支票造假是个大产业??每年以<
/p>
25
％的速率增长。犯罪分子指望我们犯错误，好让他
们更容易得手。那么我们怎样才能防患于未然呢？
8
采取一些预防措施。
不要把你的邮件
留在邮箱里过夜或过周末。
小偷就等着看你家信
箱的小红旗（注
：在美国，信箱上插上小红旗表示有邮件需要投递）
，以便通过你要投递的
邮件找寻有用的个人信息或支票。要用签字笔填写支票和重要表格，
（因为）
签字笔的墨水
会渗进纸张的纤维中，无法用化学药品除去。还有，切碎或撕碎含有个人信
息的所有文件，
然后再把它们丢进垃圾桶。
9
记住，网上有大量机会可以被小偷
利用。他们根据你的身份伪造假身份。我们都知
道黑客行为和木马软件对电脑数据库中个
人信息的威胁。
但是在谷歌上搜索某人也会透露大
量个人信息，
在线社交网站（如“我的空间”
、
“相册”和“毕波”
）也一样。正如我们离开
办公室去厕所时要随身带上钱包一样，离开电脑
时也应该注销你的电脑以防临时起意的盗
窃。
10
最后一点，
假如你遭遇较传统方式的抢劫——比如在大街上——挂失
你的信用卡
显然是要做的第一件事。
但是别忘了，
即使挂了失，
信用卡也可以用作身份证件来获得购物
卡??那你就有了犯罪记录。
11
身份伪造可以肆行多年而不为受害
者所知。
一个无法回避的事实是：
现在的诈骗者觉
得身份犯罪简直是太容易了。
如果你的身份尚未失窃，
那只是因为他们还没有对你动手。
就
会轮到你的。
