Phishing and Fraud are two good ways identity theft can happen.

According to this website it says, " Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate institution to lure individuals into providing sensitive data"
Such as " Hi, I'm from ___ from Stormont Vail calling you to let you know ______ and you have to pay $120.86 by a specific date.
