Identity Fraud The issue of identity fraud is a hot topic in the newspapers and on TV. But is it as big a problem as it seems? People in the United States are certainly concerned about identity fraud. A recent survey reported that 78% of U.S. citizens believe that such fraud is a serious personal threat. Out of the 1,000 people surveyed, 13% had experienced identity fraud, or had a family member who experienced it. These numbers show that this crime is something to be concerned about. So how does identity fraud happen? The perception of those surveyed was that the Internet was the greatest threat. This perception is wrong, however. Fraud is more likely to come from stealing and then using the new identity in a face-to-face situation. This surprises some people who assume that the Internet is insecure and computer hackers can access all their personal information. This may be true, but there is more danger of simply having your wallet stolen. Perhaps since the Internet is relatively new, and since identity fraud is currently increasing, people assume the two are related; but people today also have more credit cards, bank cards, and other identity markers in our wallets and purses than before. Identity fraud is not going away; in fact, according to the Federal Trade Commission, it is the fastest growing area of crime. People should be aware of all the ways in which identity fraud can be committed and of the different ways we should take precautions.Identity Fraud: Summary The issue of identity fraud is (1) an unusual idea a big concern a believable crimeto U.S. citizens. Many think that (2) is to blame, crime in the media the amount of identity markers the internetbut this rapidly increasing crime is more often the result of (3) physical theft television shopping channels the decrease in credit card use
