- The FTC, which is increasingly involved in helping consumers who are victims of identity theft, has a very broad definition of identity theft. The FTC's definition includes what many financial institutions consider to be "identity fraud," which consists mainly of someone making unauthorized charges to your credit card. Identity theft, as defined by many financial institutions, is a much more serious problem. Identity theft, they say, is when someone gathers your personal information and assumes your identity as their own.
