I had LifeLock and thought my family was protected. I decided to try FreeKick and was shocked to learn my three-year-old son had his identity stolen when he was just two. LifeLock never detected the theft. With FreeKick I was able to quickly stop the theft.

Every child under the age of 13 has a random social security number
criminals target these children
Up until June 2011 the Social Security Administration (SSA) issued social security numbers systematically, with the number indicating the number holder’s place of birth and age.
After June 2011, the SSA began issuing random social security numbers. These random numbers don’t indicate the age of the number holder. Every child under age 13, has a random social security number.
Random social security numbers are extremely valuable to criminals because they can be used to manufacture fake identities of any age.
“We’re going to have a national crisis beginning in 2029, when children who were born since June 2011 start becoming adults and discover they were the victim of identity fraud years ago.”
-Erik Beguin, CEO Austin Capital Bank and Founder of FreeKick
Experts estimate there might already be millions or tens of millions of unknowing child victims.

Why do financial criminals target children?
Financial criminals target your children because they can use their identity and information for years without being detected.
Criminals specifically target children 13 and younger because:
- All children under age 13 have a random social security number
- Children are not using their credit profile
- Children have never used credit, so their credit profile is a blank slate
- Their identities are not monitored
Heartbreaking facts from one study of 40,000 children:
- The youngest victim was just 5 months old
- A 16-year-old girl had $765,000 of loans associated with her identity

Common Questions
On June 25, 2011 the Social Security Administration began issuing random social security numbers to newborn children. Prior to that, a social security number was issued by birthplace geographic location and indicated the general age of the individual.
The Social Security Administration was running out of available numbers in densely populated areas (ex. New York City) and had plenty of available numbers in sparsely populated geographies (ex. Nebraska), so it decided to begin issuing random social security numbers. Every child under age 13 has a random social security number. With a random social security number, a bank or lender can’t determine the age of the person associated with the number, this allows a fraudster to use a child’s social security number to create a fake adult identity (synthetic identity).
Identity Theft: Criminals target you
Criminals target an adult and steal their identity. The criminals attempt to steal the adult’s money from their bank accounts or take out loans or credit cards in the adult’s name.
Synthetic Identity Fraud: Criminals target your children
Criminals target a child and steal their social security number. They add a fake name, real address, and other personal information to the social security number to create a synthetic identity (fake identity). The criminals use the synthetic identity to open bank accounts, apply for credit, obtain tax refunds, etc.
Synthetic identity fraud is a particularly heinous crime because it can go undetected for years. Only when a child needs to obtain credit as a young adult do they learn that they are a victim.
Synthetic identity fraud is the fastest growing financial crime in the United States
