    How can someone steal your identity? By co-opting your name, Social Security number, credit card number, or some other piece of your personal information for their own use.
  • In the course of a busy day, you may write a check at the grocery store, mail your tax returns, order new checks, or apply for a credit card. Everyday transactions that you may never give a second thought to are an identity thief's bread and butter.
  • Maybe you never opened that account, but someone else did... someone who used your name and personal information to commit fraud.
