DEWINE WARNS OF MILITARY IDENTITY THEFT – Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today warned service members to watch for signs of identity theft. The warning comes following the announcement of recent federal data breaches and prior to Military Consumer Protection Day, July 15, 2015.

“Anyone can be affected by identity theft, but if you’re a military family, it can be especially difficult to deal with,” Attorney General DeWine said. “A few years ago, I created an Identity Theft Unit to help people correct the damage caused by identity theft. Since then, we’ve helped thousands of people. We want to remind service members and all Ohioans that we’re here to help.”

The Attorney General’s Identity Theft Unit helps victims correct the effects of identity theft, such as fraudulent accounts or credit reporting errors. Since its creation in 2012, the unit has received more than 3,300 complaints and has helped to adjust or clear approximately $900,000, according to consumer complaint data.
