identity theft & privacy
The FTC estimates that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. In fact, you or someone you know may have experienced some form of identity theft.
Identity theft crimes can take many forms. Identity thieves may rent a condo, open a credit card account, or establish a telephone service in your name. You may not find out about the theft until you review your credit report or a credit card statement and notice charges you didn’t make—or until you’re contacted by a debt collector.
