Children make for easy targets because they are considered a blank slate, meaning it is easier for thieves to open new lines of credit. A minor's social security number can be used in synthetic identity theft, where thieves use a combination of real and fake information to create a new identity.
Seniors tend to be prime targets for identity theft because they have good credit and are often wealthier than younger generations. Seniors also tend to be less familiar with internet fraud and are frequently targeted with phone or email scams.

Additional Important Information:
No one can prevent all cybercrime or identity theft. The Spokeo alert network includes a variety of product features and data sources. Although it is very extensive, our network does not cover all transactions at all businesses, so you might not receive an alert in every single case.
If your plan includes credit reports, scores, and/or credit monitoring features ("Credit Features"), two requirements must be met to receive any of them: (i) your identity must be successfully verified with TransUnion; and (ii) TransUnion must be able to locate your credit file and it must contain sufficient credit history information. IF EITHER OF THE FOREGOING REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT MET, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE CREDIT FEATURES.
The credit scores provided are VantageScore 3.0 credit scores based on TransUnion data only. Third parties use many different types of credit scores and are likely to use a different type of credit score to assess your creditworthiness.
