Nine Things To Check When Shopping For Identity Theft Services
Identity theft is a form of fraud or cheating of another person's identity in which someone pretends to be someone else by assuming that person's identity, typically in order to access resources or obtain credit and other benefits in that person's name. The victim of identity theft (here meaning the person whose identity has been assumed by the identity thief) can suffer adverse consequences if he or she is held accountable for the perpetrator's actions. Organizations and individuals who are duped or defrauded by the identity thief can also suffer adverse consequences and losses, and to that extent are also victims.
The Consumer Federation of American has issued a report titled "Nine Things To Check When Shopping For Identity Theft Service." For a copy of this report click on the image below:

The Federal Trade Commission maintains a web site that gives information and tips on how to deter, detect and defend against identity theft. You can view the site by clicking on the image below:
