Welcome!

Here you will learn about the costs of Identity Theft, as well as how to protect yourself from it.  I have also included some links I found very helpful while researching identity theft.

Identity theft happens when a unauthorized person gains wrongful use and access to another person's personal information with the intention to commit fraud or deception for their own economic gain.
 
This valuable information is:
  1. Name
  2. Driver's License
  3. Social Security
  4. Date of Birth
  5. Bank Account Number
  6. Credit Card Number
