What Is Identity Theft?
What Is Identity Theft? It's the unauthorized use of someone else's personal info or identification to gain something of value. Impersonation. Fraud.
The key difference between the personal info and identification "identity theft" is this...Personal info can't be stolen.
You don't lose info like your name, home address, phone number, employment history etc. when someone else takes it and uses it.
Physical identification (i.e. driver license, passport, etc.) can be taken away from you on the other hand.
The theft generally happens when someone uses your personal info or ID dishonestly.
