Identity Theft
Someone uses your data to order goods or enter contracts in your name.
In identity theft, an offender misuses your name and data, for example for orders or accounts. As a rule, you are not liable for claims arising from such transactions. Important: object to the contracts, file a police report, and inform SCHUFA.
