Brehs, How does identity theft work?

[RARI_Godwind]

Some suspicious people might have pilfered my info so I've been talkin to my boy about it. He told me I should be good cuz I'm alive and using my ss number and usually identity thieves go after people who died. I said "So if you use somebody's ss and then someone tells you you died 8 months ago you just gon be like, 'nah.'"
This fool tells me "Exactly, what they gon say after that?"

Explain to a naive one one time how this whole thing work.

Is this the only way possible or can you take someone's identity with less?Can you find these things through a phone number? Address? How much is really needed breh?
