Are there any cautionary measures that one may take to help ensure that one doesn’t become a victim of identity theft?

Why has identity theft become so widespread today?

Have you or has anyone you love become the victim of identity theft?

This is in relation to the award notice I received from International Lotto Commission based in Spain, which turned out to be a scam. In USA, they have this FBI authorities joined with other police authorities that accept and resolve complaints regarding internet identity theft. To which authority in Spain can I report this scam?
The notice mailed to me definitely came from Spain as shown in the stamps. My sister told me it could be from an international syndicate. And when i told the guy who rang me last week that i don’t have money to open an account because i am indigent, he told me to ring my agent/sponsor and they will help me. he gave me a number with Spain’s country code in it. of course, i did not ring, i cant spend much money paying bills for overseas calls for some bullshits like this. But i really want to know which authority in Spain or any International police authority have jurisdiction over this so i can report. I have leads like: phone numbers, office addresses, fax number, names of contact persons, etc. though i know some or all of these may not be even existing or misleading. Can’t just ignore this, i want to report it to proper authorities.

I have been on the search for college scholarships, and I think I may have leaked my birthday to some shady websites. Can they steal my identity with my Name, Birthday, and Address?

Capital One sent me a letter saying that they are closing a credit card account that I never had. Is this a sign of Identity Theft?

Okay my wallet was stolen like 6 yrs ago found out a woman was using my identity in another state possibly an illegal immigrant, so i immediately called experian, and equifax and got a block on my SS#, but now i realise that i really need to get credit, and wondering how can i get credit, do i have to unblock my SS#, can i even do that, can i get credit with my social security blocked?

Hi everyone! i just went to a store last week and applied for a credit card. unfortunately i was declined. i just remembered the day after that i filled out a form with my personal info including my SS number and wasnt able to get it back. Now, im getting nervous that i might be a victim of identity theft.

Okay, so here’s my problem. I am very careful with my ID, numbers etc but last time I called my mother she says people from places I would never do bissness with are asking for me at her number. (No I don’t live with her.) I’m really new to what to do, because I figured if I was super careful I wouldn’t have to learn. I know your supposed to report something stolen, (Wallet etc.) except I have that still. If it was stolen, it had to be during a move or by someone in my house while I was asleep. I’m already in debt with other things, and ID fraud does not help matters. I’m already living with a friend because I can’t seem to find a job, so I’m too poor for a lawyer. What do I do?

can people do this? Do they not know that they are going to get caught? How come the cops only found credit card activity on that girl that recently disappeared. Why cant they see the person who bought the doughnuts and OJ at the store from the surveillance tape? How could they get away with murder AND using her credit card? How come when Chris Hansen investigated this on dateline. He had to go to other countries and he STILL couldn’t catch the theives. Can thieves look and see I don’t have anything and have already screwed up my own future so they pass on me like thieves leave 2 dollars in pity when they see my car instead of steal it. Do identity thieves ever get caught?
