The individual isn't in any way a victim of the crime. A bank used some information presented to them to conclude that they were dealing with Alice when that information was objectively not sufficient to justify that conclusion. That has absolutely nothing to do with Alice. Alice is victimized in the next step by the bank when the bank claims that it somehow is Alice's responsibility that they took someone else for Alice.
