Protect Yourself From Being A Victim Of

Identity Theft by reading this page...

This page lists, the types of document identity thieves want, ways identity thieves steal your identity, how to protect yourself from having your identity stolen and some alarming statistic about Identity Theft.

VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Passport Rule Changes: In Australia if a person has two or more Passports stolen or lost they will never be given a Passport again. Instead they will be given travel documents but these travel documents will only last for 12 months instead of the normal ten years as a Passport. Worse still, travel documents cost the same as a ten year Passport.

NB: That means every 12 month you will have to apply for new travel documents and pay the full fee that a Passport would have cost you for 10 years.

Please Note: These Passport rules apply in most countries as the result of terrorism.

To protect your Identity and other

small valuables you should purchase the

Identity Theft - What Is It

Identity Theft occurs when someone uses the identity of another person, living or dead, generally for monetary gain or they use their new identity to commit a crime.

This type of thief does not need to steal your wallet or purse, they just steal your personal information such as a Passport, Birth Certificate or any document they need to become you. An identity thief may take over the victims existing bank account / s or open a new bank account in the name of their victim.

Or the identity thief uses their new identity to apply for credit or buy goods or services or to hide their identity when they commit more serious crimes all in the victims name.

How scary is that...

Victims will find it extremely difficult trying to convince their bank or other financial institution that they did not apply for the loan in their name as their identity was stolen and it was the identity thief who applied and received the loan in the victims name.

Victims could spend months or even years trying to
re-establish their credit history and their reputation.

When the name of a deceased person is stolen the relatives become the victims and can experience severe emotional trauma and expense.

Identity Theft Is The Fastest

Growing Crime World-Wide

Protect Your Identity By Purchasing A

Passport Safe To Secure Documents That

Can Be Used To Identify You

Identity Theft is at epidemic levels world-wide. An identity thief may be a total stranger or may be a friend, relative, employee, employer or customer.

Identity Theft is estimated to cost the

Australian community more than $3.5 billion

and $200 billion world-wide annually.

Identity Theft is estimated to cost the Australian community more than $3.5 billion and $200 billion world-wide annually and these figures are estimated to drastically increase in future years.

In January 2006 it was estimated that

there were about 10 million stolen Passports

circulating world-wide. Don't let your Passport

be 10 million and one...

The flow on problem is: One way or another we all pay for the crimes of identity thieves via increased taxes, medical expenses, insurance premiums and many unseen government and Bank charges and fees.

You must protect your Passport,

Birth Certificate and any other document

that can be used to steal your identity by

securing them in a Passport Safe.

Just Imagine If

Your Passport was stolen and is used by a criminal to escape from the country they committed the crime in or even worse, if it was sold on the black market and was purchased by a terrorist to be used to leave one country and illegally enter the country you live in. What if that terrorist moved next door to you...

NB: In Australia a stolen Passport is worth between $2000 - $5000 and when sold overseas can be worth up to $20,000. Stolen Passports are worth similar amounts in all other countries.

Do you know where your

Passport and Birth Certificate is now...

Just Imagine If

Thousands of dollars of stereo or computer equipment you did not buy appear on your next credit card statement?
Your driver's licence is suspended due to traffic offences you did not commit?
A debt collector is demanding payment for a car loan you did not apply for?
Your application for a loan is rejected because you have a history of unpaid bills – which you did not know about because someone has stolen your identity and has used your name to buy products or taken out a loan and not paid any loan repayments.

If any of the above happens to you then

your identity has probably been stolen.

Why Does Identity Theft Occur

Identities are usually stolen to commit some type of crime, especially fraud. Some examples include:

To make a financial profit eg. withdrawing money from your Bank account / s.
Buying expensive items with your Credit Card or Cheque Book.
To avoid financial liability eg. child maintenance payments or tax avoidance.
To avoid being identified as their original identity eg. disqualified drivers, money launderers, illegal immigrants wishing to stay in a country of their choice.
Identity Theft is also used in major crimes such as people smuggling, drug trafficking and terrorism.

How To Protect Yourself From Identity Theft

It is important that you know what identity thieves are looking for and what information is more valuable to them.

A Passport or Birth Certificate are more valuable than say a Medicare Card, Cheque Book or even a Credit Card for stealing your identity.

Although, if your Cheque Book or Credit Card is stolen it is very easy for a thief to write a cheque or within a couple of hours spend up to the limit on your Credit Card.

Protect yourself from being a victim of

Identity Theft.
