What is ID Theft?
Identity theft, also known as “identity fraud” is generally defined as
the fraudulent use of someone else’s information without permission.
This means that a victim of identity theft is left with the consequences
of his or her imposter’s actions, whether he or she is aware of it or
not. These crimes can threaten everything from your finances and
personal reputation, to your livelihood and physical health.
customer of ID Watchdog:
During a return-trip from a vacation in Mexico, immigration officials
detained Charlie and informed him that he was wanted for crimes
committed in several US states. He was cleared of the mistake at the
time, but had no idea that the damage was still there, and continuing.
Charlie’s identity was stolen, and had been used not once, as he had
originally assumed, but multiple times by a thief committing much more
than financial damage. ID Watchdog discovered that the thief had been
using his name to commit felonies, buy cars, receive medical treatment,
obtain illegal employment, and much more. Fortunately, ID Watchdog was
able to clear Charlie’s good name through our comprehensive identity
restoration services.
