Say they have gained access to everything through your email account or through real life compromising, and they have all your ssn, details, documents, etc...
What do they actually do with it? How do they make their dosh
-
- Open new credit card accounts in your name using your SSN (Social Security Number)
- Buy something expensive, like a car or a boat under a loan in your name
- Steal your mail, get more of your personal information
- Change your billing address, so that you don't receive the credit card bills they open in your name
- Sell your identity on the blackmarket for others to use
- Open a bank account in your name and bounce checks
- File for bankruptcy under your name
- Get identification, like a driver's license in your name
- Show your name to police during arrests or commit crimes under your identity

Zombie gave you a pretty good indication, the main point of focus when they'd use something like this is a quick turnaround. They'd want to maximize profit over a short period of time, before you have time to react and then disappear, with the only trace left being your details.
The real trick to fake identities is the harvested ones, there are extremely hard to pull off but worth millions when done correctly. They are essentially exactly the same situation as someone stealing your identity, only, there is no person on the other side of things. You could literally assume the identity without anyone ever questioning it.

Buy shit in your name to support ic3 sis.
Hold on to it and sell it to a carder.
Use it to commit a crime.
The least of your problems would be money.
