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 permitted.
