Identity theft
Synthetic Identity Theft: This form of identity theft combines real and fake information. It’s using your social security number with fake name or address, therefore creating a new identity. This form of identity theft is more impactful to financial institutions, lenders, insurances, and government agencies; however, if a Cyber criminal is using your social security number, even when the rest of the information is not yours, it could affect your credit score or haunt you in many ways.
