Welcome to Part 1 of the
HOPE4USA.com Identity Theft Series
Identity theft happens when someone steals your private identifying information and fraudulently uses your name and information to open accounts in your name without your permission. Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the US. Nearly 1/2 a million consumers submitted complaints regarding identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission in 2015 (and those are just the consumers who complained - the actual number of victims is probably much higher).
