What are the consequences of identity cloning?

Victims of identity cloning, unfortunately, are faced with having to pay for lawyers and private investigators. The financial losses for identity cloning and the time involved to restore an identity clone, far exceeds most forms of identity theft because someone has done that much more damage. They have lived as you, they have worked as you, they've got roots and history, and you have to go and clean all that information up. And that involves bringing in many professionals to assist you in restoring that compromised cloning identity. Generally lawyers and private investigators and others work with you to restore that compromised identity.
