It happens when someone steals your personal information - your social insurance number, driver's license number, health card number, credit card number, debit card, or your PIN number. Criminals get this information in a number of ways including stealing your cards, posing as an employer, credit union or utility company employee, grabbing information from web sites that are not secure, sorting through garbage, or using devious ways to find out you PIN number. It can happen to anyone.

In the course of a busy day people use an ATM to get money for groceries, charge tickets to a hockey game, mail their tax returns, call home on their cell phones or apply for a new credit card. WE don't give these everyday transactions a second thought. But someone else does - someone who is interested in using these everyday transactions to steal your personal information and use it to commit fraud or theft.
