Not sure how the individual is victimised by the fraudster here. If the bank had a 100% success rate at detecting fraud with no false positives and no false negatives, then the individual wouldn't need to know and likely would never find out about the impersonation attempt.

The individual is victimised by the bank and the credit reporting agencies by their spread of misinformation.
