Consumers Face Increasing Risks of Identity Theft and Medical Identity Theft

You hear the horrific stories of identity theft every day. From credit card fraud to personal information like your Social Security number being stolen and sold by dumpster divers, identity theft is a multi-billion dollar problem that is devastating to its victims. Think it can’t happen to you?

Think again. As many as ten million Americans experience some form of identity theft every year. And that number is growing. To make matters worse, the FTC states that the average victim of identity theft doesn’t even know his identity has been stolen until more than a year after the event. By then irreparable damage has been done to your credit and reputation.
