Identity Theft
There are many different types of identity theft.
Most have one thing in common and that is thieves take some
form of your personal information like social security number,
date of birth, name or a portion of it, address, maiden name, etc. They use
this information to obtain credit cards, loans, property, and
merchandize in your name benefiting from your credit rating.
We have identified some methods used and listed them here along
with some recommendations to avoid becoming a victim and
information that could prove helpful in dealing with it if it
happens to you.
All
employees should contact security when they observe suspicious
individuals. Solicitation on campus is not
