Identity Theft Warning Signs Checklist | Spot ID Theft Red Flags Early | Identity Fraud Protection | Printable PDF | Digital Download

Is Someone Already Using Your Name?

Identity theft can go unnoticed for weeks or months. Thieves count on that. By the time many people find out, accounts have been opened, credit has been damaged and the cleanup has grown. The early signs are usually there, if you know where to look:

✕ Your bank statement just stopped arriving

✕ A debt collector calls about a debt you never had

✕ A $0.99 charge you don't recognize

✕ You're denied credit for no clear reason

✕ The IRS says your tax return was already filed

✕ A two-factor code arrives when you weren't logging in

The Identity Theft Warning Signs Checklist shows you where those signs show up. It covers your mailbox, your bank and card accounts, your credit report and your online accounts, in four quick sections you can review once a month. Use it for yourself, your family or aging parents.

What's Inside

✔ Mail & Statements

• Bills or statements that suddenly stop arriving
• Bills for accounts or services you never opened
• Debt collectors calling about debts that aren't yours

✔ Financial Accounts

• Charges you don't recognize, including tiny "test" charges
• Withdrawals or transfers you didn't make
• A card or check declined when you know you have funds

✔ Credit & Government

• Being denied credit unexpectedly, or a sharp score drop with no cause
• New accounts on your credit report that you never opened (check free at AnnualCreditReport.com)
• IRS notices about a duplicate tax return or wages from an unknown employer

✔ Digital & Medical

• Login alerts or password-reset emails you didn't request
• Two-factor codes arriving when you weren't logging in
• Medical bills or insurance claims for care you never received

✔ Pro Tip

Why free transaction alerts from your bank and card issuers can flag suspicious charges faster than waiting for a monthly statement.
