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
