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
