Regardless of how they do it—digging through a Dumpster, diverting statements to a different address or creating elaborate phishing scams with commercial-grade websites—identity thieves are constantly at work. They create havoc for consumers and businesses by stealing personally identifying information to open new accounts and misuse existing ones.
Approximately 15 million Americans are victims of identity theft each year, with financial losses totaling upwards of $50 billion. Sometimes months or even years pass before a consumer is aware a thief has destroyed his or her credit.
To help protect consumers, banks and other lenders are required to have a formal policy for identifying and responding to identity theft “red flags.” The Federal Trade Commission instituted the Red Flags Rule as part of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act.
Examples of red flags include inconsistent or unusual activity in a credit report, Social Security number verifications that don’t match up and requests for a new credit or debit card less than 30 days after an address change.
We’re watching for red flags, but there are steps you can take to help protect yourself from identity theft:
