Identity theft happens March is Fraud Prevention Month |
 |
By Det. Curtis Chiborak
WINNIPEG – It’s a quiet Friday night and you’re sitting down to family dinner when the phone rings. The person on the line asks for you by name and tells you that they work for a collections agency, your Visa is four months overdue, and you owe $5200.00 in total. You are shocked and angry and then you realize that you don’t have a Visa.
Identities are stolen every day and even the most diligent and cautious person can become the victim of identity theft. There are numerous resources for people to educate themselves on how to prevent becoming a victim but once your identity has been stolen the onus is put on the individual to notify the appropriate organizations and conduct their own follow up in order to re-establish their credit profile. The rebuilding process often begins with the question of, “What do I do now?”
