Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America
today. It has been listed as the number one
consumer complaint for seven consecutive years.
And, it's a threat from which no one is immune.
It has become so prevalent that most people, if not
victims themselves, know someone who has been a victim.
The crime can be devastating, and is often costly and
time-consuming to resolve.
Losses stemming from identity theft total more than $56
Billion annually, with 27,000 new victims of identity
theft daily. The out-of-pocket expenses for
victims of identity theft is skyrocketing and the
average victim takes 175 hours to restore their lives
and good name after becoming a victim of identity theft.
