Identity Theft Issues

Yes they do.

I have worked in 7 different banking departments spanning 17 years. I know I could answer your question if you'd supplied ample information. You should have stated how the money was removed from your personal account without your permission. An ATM withdrawal? Debit card purchase? A written check? At the teller window?

If you want answers, we need details.

This tactic is known as "phishing." In phishing, identity thieves impersonate legitimate organizations or individuals through calls or emails to trick you into revealing sensitive information, such as passwords or credit card numbers. Variants of phishing include "vishing" (voice phishing) and "smishing" (SMS phishing). Always be cautious and verify the identity of anyone requesting personal information.

Responsibility for protecting the public from online identity theft lies with multiple stakeholders, including government agencies, private companies, and individuals. Governments should implement and enforce robust cybersecurity regulations and public awareness campaigns. Businesses must adopt strong security measures to safeguard customer data and educate users about safe online practices. Ultimately, individuals also play a crucial role by being vigilant and proactive in protecting their personal information.

1 in 6 people fell victim to identity theft last year, costing consumers and businesses over $50 billion. Only 28% of those people fell victim to financial identity theft, which is the easiest to repair. The other 72% were medical, drivers license, social security and character/criminal identity theft. The AARP just announced that medical cards are being sold on the black market for around $500 each and each card is being sold to multiple people. People with no insurance and illegal aliens are buying these cards left and right. What does this mean to you and me if our insurance card is duplicated and sold?

It means their is somebody out there using your card for doctor visits, blood transfusions, cancer treatments, transplants and it could be multiple people in multiple states. And the average person doesn't know their identity has been stolen for 2-3 years. How do you even begin to fix something like this? You can't on your own. On average it costs identity theft victims $1500 to repair their identity after they find out it has been stolen. Identity Theft Shield is the only identity theft protection agency available that will completely restore your identity if it is stolen at no extra charge.
