Falsely claiming to own the tax id of another person

[neku]

Some investors are finding that fraudsters in another state are falsely claiming to own their tax id and getting the data in the tax id like the fathers name changed in government records. Is it easy in your country for a fraudster to fake ownership of a tax id, especially the tax id of an investor who has some savings and get government records changed? What precautions can a person take to prevent frauds from falsely claiming ownership of a tax id and getting government records changed?

I had never heard about this type of fraud, but there must be countries where it is easier to scam in this way, I have never heard of anything like this happening in my country.
