Identity fraud protection
Identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal information. In cases of identity fraud, criminals illegally obtain your personal information (such as a credit card number, medical identification number or Social Security number) and use the data to commit crimes in your name. Thieves may take over your existing accounts or use your name to open new accounts and apply for loans.
