Stealing your identity 

While we’re on the “don’t give away your personal info” chapter, we might as well make another stop. Another common financial abuse you might be a victim of is identity theft. This, as we know, happens when the abuser gets in possession of your personal identification codes and profiles and uses them for his/her own interest.

Our best advice is to keep as private as possible your personal information and pay close attention to anyone who might know your identification passwords.
