I've just found out my parent's identity has been stolen, their bank accounts were cleaned out and I am wondering if some information that I typed into the internet like my phone number and name could have made this happen. Please tell me how these things happen, because I am very concerned and am thinking of trying to track down every place where I have any info about myself and terminate it. I am very very upset and scared because my family is low middle class and there are a lot of things we need and this is just going to kill us.|||Usually the thieves use any combination of name, address, social security number, credit card or debit card number, bank account number, and date of birth. They also make use of receipts and statements that are thrown in the trash.
Just your name and phone number are not enough because they can get that from the phone book. If they cleaned out the bank account, they had a lot more information.
Good luck to your family in recovering from this disaster.|||Thier social security number and driver's licsence
