ID fraud
Know what to watch out for.
1 in 4 people have been a victim of ID fraud or know somebody who has been. It's important to spot it when it's happening.
How do the fraudsters do it? It's all about getting hold of your personal information that says you are who you say you are.
Be smarter than them!
Hot Tips
Keep a lookout for:
- Loans, credit cards or mail order accounts you didn't open.
- Addresses that are unfamiliar to you.
- Financial information for other people on your report.

It can take a victim of identity fraud up to 300 hours to fix their identity. Prevention is better than cure.
