Identity Theft Prevention Diploma

Identity theft is a fraudulent practice of using someone else’s name or personal information to obtain money or goods in that person’s name. Anyone is a potential target of identity theft and that includes even children. Even celebrities like Robert De Niro and Oprah Winfrey have been victims of identity theft.

Most of the identity theft can be prevented by taking precautions like protecting and safeguarding your personal information to make yourself a hard target. In the era of internet, information of all kinds is available at a click of a button.
