Identity theft occurs when an unauthorized person uses your personal
information, and your good credit to fraudulently obtain goods and services.
All a thief needs is a little information about you such as a Social Security
number, a driver's license or a checking account number and they can assume
your identity by:
 |
Opening a credit card and bank accounts |
|
Getting cash advances |
|
Obtaining loans |
All under your name!
Qwest takes steps to verify the identity of people who apply for services,
but you need to make sure you can take the right precautions to protect
yourself.
