to FRAUD
Don’t Fall Prey
to FRAUD
Fraud is an ever-growing concern. In a climate rife with increased fraudulent activity, both businesses and consumers are more susceptible than ever to fraudulent schemes. We want our members to be aware of fraud and its trends and how it could affect them.
What is Fraud?
Fraud involves intentional trickery where a victim is treated unfairly to gain financial advantage.
When does it become a crime?
It becomes a crime when someone deceives to deprive a person or organization of their money or property.
Identity Theft
This occurs when someone steals your personally identifiable information (PII), such as your social security number, driver’s license, or email address, and uses it to commit fraud, including taking out loans, mortgages, credit cards, renting apartments, opening other bank accounts in your name, or even filing taxes under your identity.
You may realize you’re a victim of identity theft when:
- You receive a credit card or bank statement in your name for charges you didn’t make.
- Your credit score shows unexplained changes, or you’re contacted by a debt collector.
- You receive notice from USPS about your mail being forwarded or missing mail, especially from financial institutions.
- You receive medical bills from an unfamiliar doctor or wrongfully denied health insurance claims due to benefit exhaustion.
- You receive notification from a company you do business with that your information has been affected by a data breach.
