What are the 5 areas of identity Theft? Financial is only about 25%!

Allied Fraud Solutions asked:


ID Theft is a Crime that occurs when someone takes any of your personal information and fraudulently uses it to obtain access to your Credit Accounts, Financial Accounts, Medical Records, Obtain Employment, or Commit Crimes.

Criminal: This is when identity thieves use your information while committing various crimes. An example of this would be stealing a car and leaving your information for the cops to get.  This is when someone uses your information after stealing it to get a driver’s licence in your name or claim to be you if they get pulled over by the police.

Driver’s License Identity Theft: Some one gets a ticket or DUI and has a fake drivers license with your information.

Medical Identity Theft: This is when identity thieves use your information for insurance benefits like Medicare and to get medical tests done in your name. A big one is thieves getting HIV tests with their victim’s informatio.  This is the most popular form of identity theft. This is where identity thieves use your information to open new accounts or gain access to your existing accounts to steal money.

Financial Identity Theft: Some one uses your credit card.

Social Security Identity Theft: This is when identity thieves use your social security number to gain employment or to report income under your name.

No one expects Identity theft to happen to them, but it affects millions of people in America each year.



*When an identity thief strikes, the emotions can feel similar to those experienced during a house fire. All of a sudden, everything you’ve worked for is threatened. If your home were on fire, would you want the fire department to send you brochures about how to put out the fire, then follow up with brochures about how to rebuild? Of course not. You’d want them to jump in the truck, turn on the sirens, and bring the water!
