:: Identity Theft
Around the world, identity fraud has been a growing concern. More Americans have been the victims of identity theft than you might imagine. In fact, identity theft has increased more than 600% since the year 2000; and in 2004 alone, 4% of adult Americans fell victim to the crime. Other countries are also reporting growing identity theft threats.
As the fastest growing form of consumer fraud, personal credit ratings are at risk to identity fraud. Your reputation and credit are on the line, as are the security of your family members and business associates.
Surprisingly, research shows that most identity thieves obtain information through traditional paper-based sources rather than electronic channels. And while laws and privacy policies help to keep companies in line and criminals in check, prevention is still the best course of action.
