Identity theft happens when someone steals your personal information and pretends to be you—and it’s one of the fastest-growing types of fraud.

In this Money Mission, we explain how identity theft works, why young people are often targeted, and the simple steps they can take to stay safe.

Teens will learn:

• What identity theft is and how criminals steal personal information

• How fraudsters use stolen information to open accounts or access your money
• How to protect yourself with strong passwords, secure networks, and smart online habits
• When to use a VPN and how to shop safely online
• What to do if you think your identity has been stolen
• Who to contact—including your bank, Action Fraud, and the police

This video teaches teens to stay aware and protect their information, helping them to avoid identity theft and keep their money and accounts safe.
