Fraud Doesn’t Discriminate

From Students to Seniors, Identity Theft Hits Hard

Fraud can strike anyone, no matter their age, lifestyle, or income. Young adults are targeted for their clean credit, while seniors are targeted for their life savings. Even children can be victims before they’ve opened a bank account. Reporting fraud quickly can help you recover faster and get your finances back on track.

Create an Identity Theft Report with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which is the combination of the Identity Theft Affidavit, also filed with the FTC, and the police report.
