For Your Protection… Fast Facts About Identity Theft
How someone steals your identity…
Despite your best efforts, skilled identity thieves may use a variety of methods to obtain your personal information:
- From businesses or other institutions by stealing records or information while they're on the job, bribing an employee who has access to these records, or conning information out of employees.
- Stealing your mail, including bank and credit card statements, credit card offers, new checks, and tax information. Or by rummaging through your trash, the trash of businesses, or public trash dumps in a practice known as "dumpster diving."
- Getting your credit reports by abusing their employer's authorized access to them, or by posing as a landlord, employer, or someone else who may have a legal right to access your report.
- Stealing your wallet or purse or breaking into your home and taking documents.
- Completing a "change of address form" to divert your mail to another location.
How can I tell if I'm a victim of identity theft?
If an identity thief is opening credit accounts in your name, these accounts are likely to show up on your credit report. To find out, order a copy of your credit reports and review them carefully. Look for inquiries from companies you haven't contacted, accounts you didn't open, and debts on your accounts that you can't explain. Check that information, like your Social Security number, address(es), name or initials, and employers are correct. If you find false or inaccurate information, get it removed.
