How can I tell if I am a victim of identity theft?

In addition to enrolling into IDnotify®, monitor both your financial and public record information and look for any of these occurrences:

  • Receiving credit cards for which you did not apply
  • Being denied credit for no apparent reason
  • Receiving calls or letters from debt collectors or businesses about merchandise or services you did not buy

Although any of these indications could be a result of a simple clerical error, you should not assume that there's been a mistake and do nothing. Always follow up with the business or institution to find out.
