 Identity Theft
Identity theft is the fastest-growing white-collar crime in the United States. It happens when someone uses your name, Social Security number, credit card number or some other piece(s) of your personal information to apply for a credit card, make unauthorized purchases, gain access to your bank accounts or obtain loans under your name. Your Better Business Bureau is joining with other organizations to help you protect yourself.
