Yes, your joint accounts are in jeopardy. Contact the 3 credit reporting services and put alerts on both your names.If your spouse is subject to identity theft, are you as well?
When in doubt, put both names on fraud alert through Trans Union Fraud Dept. Their toll free # 1-800-680-7289. They'll notify the other 2 bureaus and must be renewed every 90 days in order to keep it active. What happens then is if someone tries to open an account with your info, they must notify you first to verify that you are applying for that credit card.
It's quite possible. But if it's simply for identity to leave the country or something, I don't think the thief would need any of your information.
Anyone can be the victim of identity theft. Your identity could get stolen also. Why do you think it could not?
