some info from www.zanderins.com
According to the Gartner study on Identity Theft the 2006 victim population was at 15 million victims.
That means every minute about 28 ˝ people become a new victim of Identity Theft or a new victim in just over 2 seconds.
Hours spent: In 2004, victims spent an average of 330 hours recovering from Identity Theft, often over a period of years compared to 600 hours in 2003.
In 2004 the total reported hours ranged from 3 hours to 5,840. This difference is due to the severity of the crime- a lost credit card vs. the use of your Social Security number or information to be your “evil twin.
Impostor relationship to victim: In 2004, of the 43% who believe they knew their impostor, 14% said that it was an employee of a business who had their information, as compared to about a quarter of respondents in 2003.
Identity theft remains the #1 concern among consumers contacting the Federal Trade Commission. According to the FTC, the recovery process can take almost 500 hours and as much as $3,000. In addition, the FTC says that 41% of ID Theft victims are still dealing with the problem two years later.
According to the FBI, identity theft is one of the fastest-growing U.S. crimes. Studies show that about one in five families has been a victim.
Just some interesting info. It can be, and is a very serious problem.
