Learn More About ID Theft
Identity theft is defined as the process of using someone else’s personal information for your own personal gain. ID theft can happen to anyone and it can come in all shapes and sizes.
According to the FTC, there are more than 30 types of identity theft affecting millions of Americans each year. Your credit card digits could be stolen and used to make online purchases; a thief could impersonate you to open up a loan in your name; a felon could commit a crime and pretend to be you when caught; or someone could use your personal information to apply for a job.
