Identity Theft

Identity Theft is when someone uses your personal information to commit fraud. About 9 million Americans have their identities stolen every year. It can be done by: Changing your address Searching through trash Stealing Using a storage device on computers while your card is being processed Pretending to be a company or financial institution

What Do I Do to Prevent Identity Theft? SCAM: - S: Be stingy- don’t give out your personal information (ex. Social Security Number) unless it is necessary and to someone trustworthy. - C: Check financial accounts regularly for abnormal changes. - A: Ask for a copy of your credit report. Review it regularly (at least once a year). - M: Maintain your bank and financial records.

Different Types of Fraud Type of Fraud Example Credit Card Fraud Changing your billing address and then running up the charges on your account Phone/Utilities Fraud Opening a phone account under your name Bank/Finance Fraud Making a copy of your ATM or debit card and making withdrawals in your name Government Documents Fraud Using your name and Social Security number to get government benefits Other Fraud Getting a job using your Social Security number

What Do I Do If My Identity Has Been Stolen? Activate fraud alert on your credit report. Review your credit report more frequently. Close any accounts that you think have been accessed. File a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission. File a complaint to the police station where the fraud occurred.

Examples of Identity Theft A woman pleaded guilty to federal charges of using a stolen Social Security number to obtain thousands of dollars in credit and then filing for bankruptcy in the name of her victim. A man was indicted, pleaded guilty to federal charges and was sentenced to 27 months imprisonment for obtaining private bank account information about an insurance company's policyholders and using that information to deposit $764,000 in counterfeit checks into a bank account he established. A woman was indicted and pleaded guilty to federal charges involving her obtaining a fraudulent driver's license in the name of the victim, using the license to withdraw more than $13,000 from the victim's bank account, and obtaining five department store credit cards in the victim's name and charging approximately $4,000 on those cards.
