The best thing you can do about identity theft is preventing it from happening in the first place. Some of the most common ways criminals obtain private information include:

• Theft – Whether it is stealing your wallet or your mail, criminals will find a way to break into your life and take your information so they can use it elsewhere. 
• Emails – Criminals will generate and send out false emails claiming to be an old friend or family member in need. In their emails they may request funds, credit card numbers, or other private information that they will use in the future for other purposes.
• Fraudulent Websites – Criminals are now creating websites that look very similar to normal, legal, payment websites. Sometimes they will even take the name of a reputable website and add something so that you believe you are making a purchase from a good source. Once you input your billing and credit card information, however, the criminal can use it for whatever they want.

Identity theft can happen to anyone, which is why our lawyers are here to help you. If you believe your identity has been stolen and you live in the Carlisle, Camp Hill, or Central Pennsylvania area, please contact the experienced identity theft prevention lawyers at Saidis, Sullivan & Rogers.
