Identity Fraud

Identity fraud is the situation where a fraudster uses the personal information of a victim, without any approval, to perform a criminal action or to mislead or defraud the other person. Most identity fraud is dedicated to the use of financial benefit, such as access to a credit card, a bank account, or even a victim's loan accounts.
