Definition of Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when a person acquires key parts of someone else's identifying information, such as name, address, date of birth, Social Security Number, and mother's maiden name in order to commit fraud. Using this information, a thief may take control over financial accounts, open new accounts, purchase goods, apply for loans, credit cards, and benefits, and establish services with utilities.

Protect Yourself From Identity Theft
