Frequently Asked Questions: Identity Theft

What is identity theft?

Why should I be concerned about protecting my identity?

What are the warning signs of identity theft?

Be aware of these warning signs indicating that someone might have stolen your personal information:

You aren’t receiving household bills and other mail.
You see withdrawals from your bank account that you don’t recognize.
You notice unfamiliar charges on your credit card statements.
You are receiving bills for purchases you didn’t make.
A company you do business with—such as your bank or an online retailer—sends you a notice that a data breach has compromised your personal data.
When you apply for credit or a loan, your application is denied despite having a strong credit history.
Your credit score unexpectedly drops.
Your tax return has been declined, or the IRS tells you that more than one tax return was filed in your name.
You file a medical claim and your health care provider rejects it because you’ve mysteriously reached your plan’s limit.

How do I minimize the risk of ID theft?

To lower your risk of identity theft:

Share your personal information as little as possible.
Create strong passwords.
Use two-factor authentication when available.
Only sign on to secure Wi-Fi networks.
Update your social media settings to “private.”
Set up credit card and financial alerts.
Track your credit score.

AAA Members get a free online exposure scan to discover if your personal information is on public websites so you can request removal. Upgrade to the Complete plan to get removal services that continuously monitor websites where your information is exposed and help you easily remove it. AAA Members also have access to a free Identity Health Score¹ + Action Planner, which offers a personalized, prioritized plan to help you improve your identity health.

What should I do if my identity is stolen?

If you become the victim of identity theft, review your credit reports and place a security freeze on them. A credit freeze restricts access to your credit report so other people can’t open a new credit account in your name. You should also report the theft to the Federal Trade Commission.

If you have an identity protection plan that includes restoration services (like ProtectMyID), contact the service provider immediately for step-by-step assistance.

To begin recovering from theft, change your account passwords, make a list of the fraudulent transactions, and contact any creditors and key agencies.
