Identity Theft

Identity theft is the act of using someone else's name and personal information to commit fraud.  Identity theft is the fastest growing white collar crime in the United States.  Anyone, at any time, could become a victim of identity theft.

Typical indicators that your identity is being used include:

• A creditor informs you that an application for credit was received with your name and address, which you did not apply for.
• Telephone calls or letters state that you have been approved or denied by a creditor that you never applied to.
• You receive credit card statements or other bills in your name, which you did not apply for.
• You no longer receive credit card statements or you notice that not all of your mail is delivered.
• A collection agency informs you they are collecting for a defaulted account established with your identity and you never opened the account.
