Some of the more common methods for falling victim to identity theft is via mail theft, phishing emails, hacking, data breaches and even when applying for jobs online.
How it works
You may receive an unsolicited phone call or email for personal information or a request to validate personal information by clicking on a link or opening an attachment. These are some of the tools scammers use to obtain your personal information which in turn they can use to steal your money, superannuation, take out phone plans or open bank accounts, loans or lines or credit in your name.
Remember!
Once your identity is stolen it can take years to rectify all the damage incurred so it’s important to keep your personal information safe and secure.
