Identity theft is a crime that occurs when someone steals your personal information and uses it to commit fraud or other crimes. It often begins with the theft of a Social Security number, credit card number, debit card or phone card.

Identity thieves steal information from a variety of places. They take it from stolen wallets or purses that contain credit and bank cards. Or they help themselves to bank and credit card statements, credit card offers and tax information that’s in your own mailbox or trash can. They may even file a “change of address form” in your name and have all your mail sent to another location.

Some thieves can fraudulently obtain a credit report in your name. Others access personal information you share on the Internet. Identity thieves also steal private information directly from organization's and company's databases.

It’s common for an identity thief to call a credit card company and ask that the mailing address on a credit card be changed. They run up charges on the account ... and then have the bill sent to another address.

Other thieves can open new credit card or bank accounts using your name, date of birth, and Social Security Number. When the bills aren’t paid or the checks bounce, it would be reported on your credit report.

Other thieves can use your name to take out loans and make creditors think they're dealing with you. Still other thieves may use your identity to gain employment, file for fraudulent health benefits. They may even use your identity while committing other types of criminal activity.
