Orrin Hatch actually said...

"These criminal acts are perpetrated by thieves hiding behind telephone lines and computers, preying on honest taxpayers."

"I really applaud the innovative approaches that you are taking, that you and other State commissioners like Commissioner Alley are taking as well, to protect our taxpayers and to stop criminals."

"But make no mistake, taxpayers across the country are also facing identity theft in record numbers, account take-overs, and other criminal attacks."

"This must stop, and we are here today to hear from some of the Federal and State officials on the front lines of the fight to catch these crooks and protect taxpayers."
