Identity Fraud – What is it and how do you protect yourself from it?

Identity fraud

is the use of an individual’s personal information by another individual, without his consent, to carry out a crime or to perpetrate a wrongdoing or trick that individual or a third person. Most identity frauds are done within the context of financial benefit, such as accessing the victim’s credit card, bank or loan accounts. False or fake identity documents have been utilized as part of illegal activities or in transactions with government agencies, such as immigrations. In recent times, the identities of actual folks are being used in illegally creating these fake records or documents.
