In identity theft, the perpetrator takes over the identity of a victim by stealing her or his private information - things of a critical nature such as driver's license, social security number, bank account number, or the number of her or his cards. How this identity theft, Internet or otherwise has an affect on the victim is to potentially see the ruination of as the thief illegally obtains loans that he or she fails to pay or opening card or merchant accounts that once again he or she fails to pay. To keep this identity theft fraud going as long as possible the thief also changes the billing addresses for these accounts so the victim is unaware of the unauthorized transactions as long as possible.

What these identity Internet and other thieves often do to affect this address change is to put in a phone change of address at the post office.

To counterbalance the affect of Internet identity theft, or to head it off before it even happens, it's first and foremost important that you give out your social security number sparingly, never record your debit or ATM card pin numbers, shred all important documents before you dispose of them, and at least once a year ask for and carefully study your report. You should order and review the reports from all three major reporting bureaus - TransUnion, Experian and Equifax.
