The Early Warning Signs of Financial Identity Fraud
Financial identity fraud rarely begins with one dramatic event. More often, it arrives as a handful of details that feel slightly off. A login code appears even though you were not trying to sign in. A lender sends a letter about an application you never submitted. Your bank app asks you to verify information that has not changed. Any one of these could be a mistake. That is why early fraud is easy to miss. The problem often becomes visible only after several small inconsistencies begin to overlap.
