✍️ A 25-year-old man, Dmitri, discovered that his father had been using his identity to secure loans and credit cards since he was 18, leaving his credit score in the low 400s.
👉 Identity theft by a parent is a common occurrence, with one in 50 children in the US falling victim to it each year. 👉 The victim may not realize they have been scammed until years later, when they attempt to open their own accounts and credit cards. 👉 The first step after discovering identity theft is to notify the bank and place a fraud alert with the major credit bureaus. 👉 The victim should also file a report with the Federal Trade Commission and change their Social Security number.
