ID Theft
Identity theft occurs when someone acquires your personal information in order to impersonate you. This information might include your name, birthdate, Social Security Number and mother's maiden name.
Fraud occurs when criminals access your bank accounts or open new accounts, obtain loans in your name, and make purchases using your identity.
