Identity theft Canada's fastest growing crime
Identity theft is one of the fastest
growing crimes in Canada.
This can occur when a dishonest
person gets a hold of your personal
or credit card information and uses it
to take advantage to make purchases
or obtain funds. Identity theft occurs
when a dishonest person uses your
persOnal information to open a bank
account, obtain credit cards or
otherwise take advantage of your
credit rating.
Any type of personal fraud can
ruin your credit rating. In order to
reduce the chances that you will
become a victim follow these dos
and don'ts.
Do:
• Be extremely careful before you
decide to give out personal
information

and birth certificate as you would
any valuable and store them in a
safe place under lock and key

need most and cancel the ones you
don't
• Consider buying a shredder
• Shred your financial statements,
personal information and credit
cards after they expire
• Watch how salespeople swipe
your credit card, and make sure
that a second machine is never
used. Always watch your card
• Take precautions when
performing on-line transactions, be
sure the site is secure, a privacy
policy is posted and the company is
known to be reputable
• Carefully check your monthly
statements for any unauthorized or
missing transactions
• Call the credit card company
immediately if your bills don't
arrive or you applied for a new
credit card that has not come
• Have your mail picked up by a
trusted neighbour or go to your
local post office (with
identification) and ask for
Canada's Post "hold mail" service
if you are going away
• Don't use e-mail to send personal
information
• Watch for people looking over
your shoulder when using your
(PIN) person identification number
and avoid writing this number
down in your wallet
• Protect your personal computer
with a firewall
• Beware of promotions that ask for
personal information

on yourself through the two
national credit reporting agencies:
Equifax Canada 1-800-465-7166
or www.equifax.ca or TransUnion
of Canada 1-800-663-9987 or
www.tuc.ca
• Visit the ministry of Consumer
and Business Services website at
www.cbs.gov.on.ca
Don't:

and birth certificate on your person
unless absolutely necessary

or throw out financial or personal
(information) without first making
it unreadable

address number for your PIN
number

address, credit card number or SIN
number on the intemet
