ID thieves deserve harshest punishment

Wang Nana was dumbfounded when a bank clerk told her that she had not been honest in her application for a bank loan. According to a credit check, the 33-year-old graduated from Zhoukou Vocational and Technical College in 2006 and runs a photocopy outlet in Central China's Henan province.

But Wang never went to a college.

An investigation revealed a carefully planned crime committed 13 years ago. Wang had taken the national college entrance exam in 2003, but she didn't receive an admission letter from any university. Giving up her college dream, Wang then shifted to another city to work.
