Understanding Identity Theft: Prevention, Detection, and Action Steps

Identity theft occurs when someone unlawfully uses your personal information, typically for financial gain. To spot signs of identity theft, carefully review your bank statements, billing statements, and insurance explanations of benefits. Regularly check your credit reports via AnnualCreditReport.com or call 1-877-322-8228. If you believe you're a victim, it's crucial to act fast—report the theft to the Federal Trade Commission at 1-877-382-4357 and take steps to protect your information. Awareness and prompt action can safeguard your personal identity.
