♦️Protect Against Identity Theft♦️
♦️Identity theft happens when someone uses your personal information without your knowledge or permission, usually for their own personal gain. It typically invoices someone stealing your personal information, such as your name, social security number, date of birth, account or debit/credit card numbers, or website login information. They will then use this information to conduct transactions such as using your existing or opening new bank accounts, credit card accounts, loans, make purchases, or even receive medical care under your name and insurance.
♦️Identity theft can be very difficult to reverse, and though no one is immune from it, the following prevention tips can help to prevent you from becoming a victim of identity theft.
