Identity Theft Explained – And What To Do About It



See our Identity Theft Protection Guide here:

There are few scarier things in our digital world than having your identity stolen. #Identitytheft can greatly impact your life, especially if the stolen information includes your Social Security number, address, credit, debit, or bank account information. However, there are a few online services that can help to prevent identity theft, or at the very least detect it as soon as possible. In this video, I’ll tell you everything you need to know about identity theft protection, from my favorite identity monitoring services like LifeLock and Experian to some tips for guarding your identity. While no identity theft protection service can prevent identity theft from happening 100%, you can definitely do better than nothing by a longshot.

    As if I'm running? Doesn't matter if your doing right and simply living anymore, people are out to take what's yours and honestly think it belongs to them??… everything was just taking from me and its time to install some chips under our skin so people can work hard and not fear anymore! Everything i worked hard for is gone!? How can we have opportunity in the world,… while others just steal? Bring on the brain chips and float test anyone who is caught!

  • My sister stole my birth certificate ID and ss

  • @py3323 June 18, 2024

    I'm a victim of identity theft. Which started in 2006. I have had so many of those ID protection companies ( All Clear, McAfee, Life Lock, Norton, ID guard, discover, and many others and they NEVER TOLD ME THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG. I found it out on my own. I have over 50 pages of breeches that I was a part of, I have copies of fraud emails, texts. Everyday and evening, for the last few years I constantly get fraud phone calls one right after the other and sometimes it's the same number calling hanging up and calling immediately back again etc. Now it's starting to happen more often in texts.

    I want you all to know a lot of lawyers won't help you. I have been refused by three now. There is not a lot of help for victims of identity theft or fraud.

  • @kev-othegamer June 18, 2024

    Thank you.

  • @JaredandTasha June 18, 2024

    I got scammed by the Doordash phishing scam yesterday and, moronically, gave away my ID and SSN. I froze all 3 of the credit unions, what else should i do??!!

  • @MissionaryInMexico June 18, 2024

    Just think… In 2017 the rate of identity theft in the USA was 1 in 14 people. In 2020, it was 1 in 4. Today, in 2022, everyone has been a victim.

  • @purp_cray0n936 June 18, 2024

  • @galaxyt4218 June 18, 2024

    Hey um…Just found this video and looked it up because today I did something extremely dumb..So a guy came up to me from his car I didn't think much of it. He asking me things like hey you look young were you work at do you wanna make some extra cash and don't worry it's not illegal. I should've just said no but I was just going along with it..He was talking about he didn't need no personal info or anything just a receipt of the bank deposit I'm gonna make on chase with the check he was gonna give me which he did. But during that he said he also needed a picture of my ID so I don't screw him over or something. He looked at the receipt on my phone and everything and he did deposit 1,950 and tmr he said he was gonna call me about it or meet me somewhere and it took me a minute because I'm FUCKING STUPID that he just took a picture of my fucking ID. And now I'm just terrified of what might happen I was just being blinded and persuaded by free money and now I don't know what to do.

  • @PrinceAliahsan June 18, 2024

    Thank you for explaining and sharing. I’m 22 and I’m currently going through this and it’s been very difficult since it was done via virtual data breach / Google account hijack.

  • @iSoleyy June 18, 2024

    I got a letter from TD with a debit card. I don’t have TD Bank and called them. The rep transferred me over to the Identity Theft and they closed the account completely. I just now got a letter from Unemployment (I have a full time job btw lol) saying how I apparently filed a claim for unemployed and they suspect it is identity theft.

My ant wants to go to USA but since the other person has been living there for more than 45 years with her identity what ever happends now. Has my ant lost her identity now or what can she do when the other person basically has a whole entire life now in USA

  • @aprilmccants1054 June 18, 2024

    This was really good information it really amazes me how Content creators will spend time research and so much effort to put things together for people for their best interest they will watch the entire thing Gleen all the information and walk away . No like. No comment. Nothing. what is the problem? You mean to tell me this video only has over 100 likes with 8 thousand views ? Just pathetic.

  • @susankilleen2011 June 18, 2024

    Thanks for the information, I got my identity theft as someone did my 2020 tax return for me, however they didn't have all my info and reported a much lower amount then what I actually made last year…..now whomever they may be, have all my info, socialsecurity and IRS, but like you pointed out, this is widespread.
