AG Nessel is reissuing her consumer alerts on identity theft protection and warning signs. Bad actors can use a child’s identity to open fraudulent accounts that may go unnoticed for years until the victim tried to use their credit for the first time. 

“Kids and their families rarely, if ever, check their credit, which can make them prime targets for identity theft. By staying vigilant and taking steps to protect their data, parents can help keep their children’s personal and sensitive information safe and secure from bad actors.” – AG Nessel
