Summary

Identity theft is often underestimated until it strikes. Despite common misconceptions, it can impact anyone, anywhere.

Many people hold a false sense of security when it comes to identity theft. Here are some familiar excuses:

- "I have bad credit, so I’m not worried."
- "It happened to a friend of a friend."
- "I have other priorities right now."
- "I just need to guard my Social Security number."
- "I can trust the people around me."
