Identity Theft
The fraud crimes unit investigates fraud, forgery, bad checks, counterfeit materials, embezzlement, identity theft, credit card fraud, scams, and all other types of financial crimes. Investigators also take a proactive approach towards these offenses through community outreach. Investigators provide training to financial institutions and other organizations regarding current scams and fraudulent document recognition.
Many fraud and scam investigations are complicated by the fact that criminals can commit an offense from overseas, making suspects difficult to identify, locate and prosecute. In this environment, prevention is one of law enforcement's most effective tools.
Occurrences of identity theft are becoming more prevalent and can have devastating and far reaching consequences. Victims of identity theft can sustain tax liability and damaged credit. Even arrest warrants or criminal histories can be generated by an offender using another person’s identity. Complications resulting from identity theft can be ongoing and extremely difficult to remedy.
Basic precautions to avoid becoming a victim include securing sensitive personal information, periodically reviewing your financial records, and practicing good security measures when accessing the internet and e-mail.
If you feel you have been victimized, call the Logan City Police Department at 716-9361.
