Most people are aware that identity theft is a major problem, but few fully appreciate how easy it is for criminals to steal someone’s personal details and use them to commit fraud.
In this course, you will gain a solid understanding of how identity theft happens, what you can do to prevent it, and the exact steps to take if you know or suspect someone has stolen your information.
- The difference between identity theft and identity fraud, and why it can have serious, long-term effects for victims
- Practical ways to safeguard your identity, and extra precautions to take when moving home
- Protective measures that keep your personal information private, and how technology can leave you vulnerable
- What to do if someone has stolen your identity
- The most common means by which criminals commit identity theft
The course comprises five modules and around 30 minutes of learning, covering what identity theft is, preventative techniques, what happens if you are a victim, how to protect yourself, and the most common ways identity theft and fraud are committed — each module includes a quiz.
This course is part of our Administration & HR range, alongside further titles from our full library of CPD courses at Skills Pad.
