What red flags should I look for in identity theft?
It’s not always easy to spot a stolen identity, but there are many red flags to watch for:
- Unexplained charges or withdrawals on your bank and credit card statements
- New credit cards or accounts you didn’t apply for or open
- Missing mail or email, such as account statements
- Errors on your credit report
- Errors on your tax return or Social Security statement
- Collection notices or calls for unknown debt
