Dear SelfKey Astronauts,

Identity theft has been an ever-evolving crime. And the latest method that has come to light is known as synthetic identity theft.

Investopedia defines synthetic identity theft as a type of fraud in which a criminal combines real and fake information to create a new identity. The real information used in this fraud is usually stolen. This information is used to open fraudulent accounts and make fraudulent purchases.

Victims of synthetic identity theft could end up with debts of large amounts of money. Moreover, Synthetic identity theft is far more difficult to detect, and the latest reports suggest that you could be a victim of this scam, unknowingly.

SelfKey wallets can help protect you from such scammers by safeguarding your identity and personal documents. SelfKey wallet users can gain complete control of their identity that is being shared with a third-party and negate the threat of identity theft scams like synthetic identity theft.
