Insurance ● Any insurance policy that pays benefits for costs, including travel costs, notary fees, and postage costs, lost wages, and legal fees and expenses associated with efforts to correct the effects and results of identity theft of the insured individual.

Medical ● Medical identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal information (like your name, Social Security number, or Medicare number) to obtain medical care, buy drugs, or submit fake billings to Medicare in your name.

Criminal ● When an imposter gives another person’s name and personal information such as a driver’s license, date of birth, or social security number to a law enforcement officer during an investigation or upon arrest.

Driver’s License ● Letting companies and others record your driver’s license data can put you at risk for identity theft.

Synthetic ● Occurs when thieves create new identities either by combining real and fake identifying information to establish new accounts with fictional identities, or create a brand new identity from totally fake information.

Child ● A child’s social security number can be used by identity thieves to apply for government benefits, open bank and credit card accounts, apply for a loan or utility service, or rent a place to live.

Security Issues ●Credit Card Fraud: Your balance will increase, and if you can't remove the charges from your account, the credit card company may hold you responsible for the unpaid amount. ●Identity Theft: Using your Social Security number and birth date, thieves can steal your identity to open fraudulent accounts, obtain medical care in your name or fund criminal activity. ●Unauthorized Charges: Unauthorized charges may appear because of an error, such as a double billing, or they may be intentionally imposed by a shady company.
