Identity theft


Identity theft is one of the most popular crimes today. Identity theft occurs when someone uses your identity to make an illegal action. Identity thieves obtain the information from a variety of sources: the theft of your wallet, your trash, or from credit or bank information. They use the telephone or the Internet and ask you for the information. Some tips that you have to remember are: Never throw away ATM receipts, credit statements, credit cards, or bank statements, never give your credit card number by the telephone if someone calls you and asks for this number, check your bank account monthly and call the bank if you find some mistakes and keep a list of telephone numbers to call to report the loss of an important personal Id or document.
