WHAT IS IDENTITY THEFT AND IDENTITY FRAUD?

Identity theft occurs when an individual's or company's personal or confidential information is obtained by another person in order to assume their identity. Identity theft is the first step to perpetrating a criminal activity whereby criminals may use personal information to obtain credit, goods or other services fraudulently. This is known as identity fraud.

Identity fraud can involve setting up a bank account in someone else's name, applying for a credit card or stealing personal details in order to fraudulently obtain goods, services, or other financial advantage. It can even extend to securing a passport in their name.

Corporate identity theft may include stealing the identity of a company and fraudulently trading under that name without the knowledge of the legitimate company.
