Every two seconds, an American falls victim to identity fraud, according to a study by Javelin Strategy & Research. Whether you suspect you may fall prey to an identity thief or your privacy has already been violated, being proactive is your best bet to keep the fraud from getting worse. Putting a fraud alert on your credit report notifies anyone who reviews your report for purposes of issuing credit that the person applying may be an identity thief.
