Identity theft is the act of acquiring and collecting a persons information with the intent of using it for criminal purposes. Identity Fraud Actual deceptive use of identity information of another person in connection with various frauds

Full Name Date of Birth Social Insurance Full Address Mothers Maiden Name Username and Passwords Drivers License number Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) Credit Card Information Bank Account Number Signatures Passport Number

Grant access to you bank accounts Open new bank accounts Transfer bank balances Apply for loans, credit cards, and other goods and services Make purchases Hide their criminal activities Obtain passports Receive government benefits

Step 1 Contact your local police force and file a report Step 2 Contact your bank and credit card company Step 3 Contact both of the national credit bureaus and place a fraud alert on your credit reports Equifax Canada ( ) Trans Union Canada( )

Be careful about unsolicited s, telephone calls, or mail. Only carry the identity documents you need in yur wallet or purse and lock all others up safely Check your credit reports often Shield your PIN Memorize your PIN Shred personal information Notify all Financial institutions and the post office about any changes in your address

Watch Credit Cards! If a customer swipes a card we need to check the back of the card to ensure that the signatures match. If a card is not signed you must ask for photo ID for which you will match the names on the cards and match the photo on the ID to the customer. Never allow a customer to use a credit card that isn’t theirs Credit machines are already set up so you cannot use the tap and go feature for purchases over $50 Credit machines will also lock a credit card so it can no longer be used on that particular purchase if an incorrect pin is entered in 5 times

Remember to keep any and all password you have a secret Shred any company paperwork
