Join FTC for Identity Theft Awareness Week

Has someone used your personal information to open accounts, steal your tax refund, or file fake health insurance claims? January 27 to 31 is Identity Theft Awareness Week (IDTAW) 2025. During IDTAW, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and its partners work together to share information on what identity thieves want to steal and why, understanding how identity theft happens, and learning how to avoid it. It’s an excellent opportunity to learn and talk about identity theft and raise awareness to help protect yourself, your family, and your friends. Read a story from the Federal Trade Commission.
