PARKERSBURG – Newlyweds are becoming more and more susceptible to identity theft, according to a report from an insurance conglomerate.
Identity theft is a crime that affects an estimated 9 million Americans each year, according to the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies.
Those planning on getting married have come under increased danger of having their personal information stolen.
From the time a couple starts planning a wedding until well after they return from the honeymoon, they put a lot of personal information at risk. Gift registries, bridal expos and processing name and account changes are just some of the ways they open themselves to identity theft.
