What is identity fraud?
Identity fraud occurs when a fraudster uses stolen personal information for their financial gain. This can be a real person or a combination of real and fake information, which is known as a synthetic identity. Fraudsters then use this stolen identity to open new bank accounts, apply for credit or attempt to take over the victims bank account.
