Remember! Identity thieves are looking for:
- full names, maiden names and signatures
- dates of birth
- Social Insurance Numbers
- addresses
- usernames and passwords
- driver’s license, passport and health card numbers
- PINs and banking information (account numbers, expiry dates and the last three digits printed on the signature panel)
So that they can:
- access your bank accounts or open a new one
- transfer bank balances
- apply for loans, credit cards and other goods and services
- make purchases
- hide their criminal activities
- obtain passports or receive government benefits
