Of course, synthetic identity
theft is pretty much real! Basically, it's a type of identity fraud that
happens while identity thieves use your true Social Security numbers and
pair them with false information. It's a very expert-level crime and
often done by the expert identity thieves.
There are few steps to prevent this crime. First, you need to keep track
of your SSN (Social Security Number). Kids are often the easy victims of
this crime, in fact, more than 1 in 10 kids are expected to become the
prey before growing up. So, keep your child’s identity safe as much as
possible.
Apart from that, you can place a 90-day fraud alert on your credit
report for added protection.
Discard the papers you receive
in the mailbox after thoroughly checking. Shred them or burn them
properly to avoid being read by others. SSN plays a crucial role in the
synthetic identity theft, especially those of children. So, keep SSN in
a secure place along with other personal information.
Also, avoid unsolicited calls and Emails. Some apps give fraud
notifications to the user. You’ll get prompt notifications as soon as
a suspicious activity shows up. You will find many apps online.
