Cons, Frauds and Scams
Identity Theft
Identity Theft is still a growing problem. Arizona is listed
as one of the hot spots for this crime. The most common ID theft
complaint is that someone opened a credit card account in the
victim's name. Thieves also use victim's information to obtain
phone or utility service, money from bank accounts, loans, jobs
and medical services.
Remember to check all bills and bank
account statements carefully, and get your credit report once a
year to make sure no unauthorized accounts have been opened in
your name.
