ID Theft Assist June E-News

Dear (PERSONALIZED),

Ever what thieves do with a stolen identity? Once they have your personal information, identity thieves use it in a variety of ways.

Credit card fraud:

• Open new credit card accounts in your name.
• Use the cards and don't pay the bills, the delinquent accounts appear on your credit report.
Phone or utilities fraud:
• Open a new phone or wireless account in your name, or run up charges on your existing account.
Bank/finance fraud:
• Create counterfeit checks using your name or account number.
• Open a bank account in your name and write bad checks.
• Clone your ATM or debit card and make electronic withdrawals your name, draining your accounts.
• Take out a loan in your name.
Government documents fraud: Get a driver's license or official ID card issued in your name but with their picture.
Other types of fraud:
• Get a job using your Social Security number.
• Rent a house or get medical services using your name.

Give your personal information to police during an arrest. If they don't show up for their court date, a warrant for arrest is issued in your name.
And these are just a sampling of ways they can use your information. That’s why ID Theft Assist is here for you. By offering FREE credit monitoring, we help detect a problem before it gets out of hand.

Sincerely,

ID Theft Assist

Medical ID Theft Protection

As one of the fastest growing forms of identity theft, Medical ID Theft

is defined as the stealing of someone’s personal identifying information without legal authority or consent to obtain medical services or goods, and/or to make a false insurance claim for medical services.

Unfortunately, the devastating effects of Medical ID Theft go beyond financial. Frequently, Medical ID Theft results in erroneous medical information being transferred into a victim’s existing medical records. Ultimately, a victim’s medical record could reflect that he or she never had. Relying on those false records, future health care providers could easily make inaccurate diagnoses, resulting in medical errors or delaying proper treatment.

In addition to the potential medical consequences to this crime, the staggering financial effects are the relatively the same that any consumer victimized by
identity theft face: unpaid bills, serious blemishes on credit reports and harassing phone calls from collections agencies.
Medical ID Theft happens. And, it can happen to you or someone you know. Be sure
to periodically ask to see your medical records with your primary care physician.
