> it's called "Identity Theft", and deflected back to you as your problem to resolve

Not really. At that point it becomes an open question that both sides will furiously try to resolve in their favour.

What you're advocating (and I agree with) is biasing the odds in favour of the allegedly defrauded. For example, if you file an affadavit of identity theft with a credit bureau (or court), collections on that item are suspended for a fixed amount of time.
