Identity theft happens when someone steals your personal information and uses it for financial or other gain. Nearly 1 in 20 Americans are affected by identity theft each year, according to Experian. Identity theft victims can be affected financially for a very long time, which hinders your ability to obtain a credit card, buy a car, or get a loan for a house The crucial part of protecting yourself from identity theft is prevention.
Frequently checking your financial statements and shredding documents that contain your personal information are key to protecting your identity. It is also very important to report suspicious activity on your financial statements as soon as possible.
According to the data from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), consumers reported losing over $10 billion to fraud in 2023, marking a significant 21% increase from 2022 Imposter scams accounted for $2 7 billion in reported loss. This means thieves are getting smarter on how they steal your identity, despite prevention strategies. Here are some common causes of identity theft:
- Public Wi-Fi networks: Don’t access your personal or financial information while using a public Wi-Fi connection
- Always shred documents that have your personal information, including bills and credit card offers.
