4 What is Identity Theft? Someone uses your name or personal information to: Open credit card accounts or use existing accounts Take out a loan Make a major purchase Access bank accounts File fraudulent tax returns Or even commit a crime!
5 Types of ID Theft Credit Card Fraud 28% Phone or Utilities Fraud 19% Bank Fraud 18% Employment-related fraud 13% Loan Fraud 5% Government Benefits Fraud 8% FTC Data 2011
6 More Statistics Many victims don t even know. The average time to find out you ve been victimized is 15 months! Unfortunately, many identity theft related crimes go unreported. California ranks #1 for ID theft crimes, Texas is 2nd, followed by New York and Florida.
7 How the Thief Works By stealing wallets & purses containing your information & credit & bank cards. Stealing your mail. Looking through your trash & retrieving discarded bills or credit applications (dumpster diving). Completing a change of address form, and having your mail forwarded to them.
8 Thieves also Say they work for a bank or credit reporting agency when they ask for your SSN over the phone. Pose as landlords, lawyers, or other officials who have authority to access your information. Use personal information you share on the internet.
9 How they use your information: They use your information to establish a new ID and pretend to be you. They open utility (phone, cell phone) accounts in your name. They open bank accounts and write bad checks. They file bankruptcy under your name to avoid eviction or payment of any new debt occurred.
10 How they use your information: They counterfeit checks or debit cards, and drain your bank account. They buy cars by taking out auto loans in your name. They give your name to police during an arrest. If they don t show up for their court date, an arrest warrant is issued in your name.
11 Social Security Number Be VERY cautious about giving out your SSN Do NOT carry your SS Card in your wallet. Do NOT have your SS # printed on your checks or drivers license
12 What if I become a victim?
13 Take action!!!!! File a police report & contact the Federal Trade commission. Contact the 3 major credit bureaus and have a fraud alert placed on your account. Contact creditors where fraudulent accounts were opened, or where fraudulent charges were made.
14 Why file a police report? To get a criminal investigation started. Provide some assurance to your creditors that this is a real crime, not to avoid payment. Creditors often require a copy of the police report for challenged accounts and charges.
15 Why contact the FTC? Information is entered into the Consumer Sentinel database, and may assist law enforcement in other jurisdictions on related matters. FTC has great information for ID Theft victims on what to do to clear up their credit reports & challenge fraudulent accounts & charges and what legal protections victims may have.
16 Contact the credit bureaus Equifax Experian TransUnion
