Identity Theft Is All Around Us.

  • Privacy Rights Clearinghouse
    Identity Theft is the only crime where the suspect is presumed innocent before proven guilty; and the victim is guilty until found innocent.
  • Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act, 18 USC 1028(a) (7)
    Identity theft is a criminal offense. It occurs when a person knowingly transfers or uses, without lawful authority, a means of identification of another person with the intent to commit or to aid or abet any unlawful activity that constitutes a violation of federal law or that constitutes a felony under any applicable state or local law.
  • Linda Goldman-Foley (Executive Director of the Identity Theft Resource Center)
    Given the percentage of growth, the reality is that most of us will become a victim of identity theft sometime in our lives, if not multiple times.
  • Federal Trade Commission
    Children and young adults are among the biggest targets for Identity Theft
  • Ed Mierzwinski (consumer program director of the U.S. Public Interest Research Group)
    The big cost is the emotional trauma.
  • Beth Givens (director of the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse)
    The most common complaint of identity theft victims is they have to take time off work, Givens says. I can't tell you how many people have called and said 'I had to take a week off work.' I've heard of people who are sorting things out for months or even years, she says. You might spend anywhere from six months to two years recovering from identity theft.
  • DHS Secretary Chertoff
    I'm going to submit to you that in the 21st Century, the most important asset that we have to protect as individuals and as part of our nation is the control of our identity, who we are, how we identify ourselves, whether other people are permitted to masquerade and pretend to be us, and thereby damage our livelihodd, damage our asssets, damage our repuration, damage our standing in our community.
  • USA Today
    A recent survey found that more Americans are worried about identity theft than about losing their jobs.
  • Roy Cooper (N.C. Attorney General)
    Businesses are losing billions of dollars to this crime. Banks are certainly on the leading edge of those losses. Most of the time, the bank loses the money, and the customer loses their good name.
