Financial expert Maxim Glazkov tells RT how to protect yourself from loans if personal data gets into the hands of fraudsters. According to him, if fraudsters only have access to your passport data or photo, you should definitely check your credit history regularly.

“If you have activated the notification service, you will immediately receive an SMS or email alert and will be able to promptly report an attempted fraud to a credit institution or the police,” he said. If it was not possible to prevent the processing of a loan or loan, you need to start challenging this operation as soon as possible.
