 What
Is Identity Theft?
Identity theft is the fraudulent use of one’s personal
identifying information. Frequently, identity thieves can use
another person’s personal information, such as a social
security number, mother’s maiden name, date of birth,
or account number...
How Identity Theft Affects You
The cost of identity theft can be quite staggering.
Victims expend extensive time closing fraudulent accounts,
opening
new ones, and fixing damaged credit records. There can be costly

corporate benefits and jobs...

and taking vitamins.
