What is identity theft? Can it
happen to me? How likely is it that
it will? What can I do if it does
happen? We talked to actual
identity theft victims and heard their
accounts. The people you’ll see onscreen
aren’t actors, and their
harrowing tales are genuine. From
corporate data theft to shouldersurfing
and skimming – we show
the most common ways thieves
steal your identity.
Learning how to protect yourself
will help you get back in control.
We consulted with numerous
experts from law enforcement and
consumer groups, such as the
Federal Trade Commission, to get
the information you need to avoid
the most common – and not-so-common
– identity traps. It’s
all here!
