Children Targets for ID Theft

Tuesday January 17, 2006
Over the weekend I heard that children (as young as 2 years old) are increasingly having their identity stolen. That means that your child may have already borrowed $100,000! Scammers get their SSN and start opening accounts. To prevent and detect this practice, monitor your child's credit report via the US Government's free credit report program. You'll find out about fraudulent accounts sooner rather than later.
