Report on ID Theft Points to Greater Offline Threat

New Research Shows That Identity Theft Is More Prevalent Offline with Paper than Online:

  • “The 2005 Identity Fraud Survey Report – released by the Better Business Bureau and Javelin Strategy & Research as an update of the Federal Trade Commission’s 2003 Identity Theft Survey Report and Javelin’s 2003 Identity Theft Report – shows that despite growing fears about identity theft and online fraud, of the victims that know the identity and method used by the criminal, these crimes are more frequently committed offline than online. Internet-related fraud problems are actually less severe, less costly and not as widespread as previously thought.”
