Identity theft defense: Asbury Park, NJ

Identity theft and other forms of fraud aren't going away any time soon. It is a scourge upon U.S. consumers to the tune of one-third of American adults having experienced identity theft in one form or another. This, by the way, is more than twice the global average, according to the Federal Trade Commission. Winning the lottery averages about a 1 in 100 million chance; if only those were the same odds as becoming an identity theft victim in the U.S.

What many people may not know is that identity theft can also affect children, not just adults. Identity thieves consider children’s Social Security numbers and credit histories extra enticing since they offer clean slates. Shockingly, family members have been known to illegally use children’s Social Security numbers, as have school and medical personnel, foster agencies, kid camps, and others. Child identity theft may go undiscovered for years, during which time thieves can establish credit files and rack up debt that nobody pays.

Identity theft knows no limits

Computers are only one avenue perpetrators use to target their victims. Cybercriminals use their tech-savvy creativity to commit theft and fraud in all kinds of ways. Here are just a few ways consumers in Asbury Park, NJ, can find themselves victimized, whether through cybercrime activities or other means:

• Government identity theft: Thieves used your Social Security number, passport, or driver’s license to apply for government benefits - locally or nationally - for unemployment, disability, food stamps, etc. If you’ve experienced this, it’s time to take legal action. Give us a call!
• Scam identity theft: You received an email, call, text, or social media request regarding goods, services, or promises you believed were legitimate, but weren’t, and you offered up your personal information. You’re not alone. Call our legal team now. 
• Financial identity theft: Someone has taken over your bank account or set up a new account in your name without your permission. Time is of the essence - we’re here to take your call.
• Data breach identity theft: You received notification that your personal information was exposed in a data breach or other security incident. Don’t sit and wonder - our identity theft defense lawyers are here to help.
• Medical identity theft: Your medical provider or insurance company notified you that someone other than you used your medical services. This could affect your ability to get critical medications, submit claims, or receive medical care. It is vital that you correct the situation quickly. We’ve got your back.
• Criminal identity theft: You received a court summons or a visit from law enforcement with a warrant for your arrest, yet you did nothing wrong. Identity thieves can supply stolen personal information to law enforcement for use concerning an investigation or traffic violation. If the imposter doesn’t appear in court as ordered, a judge could issue an arrest warrant for the innocent person whose personal information was stolen. We can help.
• Mortgage identity theft: Your home’s title is in someone’s name, but not your name. A criminal stole your identity - via phishing scams or stolen tax returns or bank records - and forged your deed or title documents in an attempt to sell your home or borrow against it. Protect yourself and your home. Call us.

These examples represent only a few ways identity theft can creep into your life.
