Why You MUST Consider Identity Theft Protection NOW

Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the United States, AND the most feared. Here are some facts you should know: Identity theft affects one in 20 households, costs billions of dollars every year to businesses and, on average, takes hundreds of hours for a victim to regain pre-theft status. 1 in 10 American consumers have already been victims of identity theft.

Over 50% of all identity theft is the result of the taking of a physical document, such as a credit application or account statement, which is often done via the Internet, mailbox, trash, or theft of non-public personal information. Over 20 people become victims of identity theft every minute of every day in the United States. 41% of victims who did not have Identity Theft Protection are still dealing with the issue more than 2 years after discovering it.

Thieves often target the very young or the elderly or the recently deceased. Average fraud amount per victim was $6,400 in 2013. On average, victims incur between $800 - $1,400 in expenses related to restoring their identity. Average victim spends over 330 hours trying to reverse the damage.

There are six types of Identity Theft:
New Account Fraud
Account Takeover Fraud
Criminal Identity Theft
Medical Identity Theft
Identity Cloning
Commercial Identity Theft

Additional adverse effects of ID theft (without protection servies) include: financial problems; high interest rates; denied employment; harassment from collection agencies; unauthorized use of medical benefits; low credit score; denied credit, tuition, or loans; higher insurance premiums; and even arrest.
