Identity theft. Identity theft is the unauthorized use of your personal information, such as your name, address, Social Security number, or credit account information. People usually steal your identity to make purchases or obtain credit, though they may also use the data to apply for a driver's license or other form of official identification.

File pertinent information discreetly since the most common child identity thief is a relative or family friend--those who frequently visit your home. When the same people also start helpfully revealing things like their first pet's name, mother's maiden name and memorable addresses, even the most amateur identity thief might be tempted to exploit the opportunity. A prolific identity thief who was arrested less than two years after his release from prison for similar crimes soon will be back in state custody, this time for more than eight years. |
