Identity Theft Victim Statistics:

 

Approximately 15 million United States residents have their identities used fraudulently each year with financial losses totalling upwards of $50 billion.*  

On a case-by-case basis, that means approximately 7% of all adults have their identities misused with each instance resulting in approximately $3,500 in losses. 

Close to 100 million additional Americans have their personal identifying information placed at risk of identity theft each year when records maintained in government and corporate databases are lost or stolen.

These alarming statistics demonstrate identity theft may be the most frequent, costly and pervasive crime in the United States.
