Identity theft occurs when someone uses another’s personal identifying information, like their name, social security number or credit card number, to commit fraud or theft. Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States. A 2021 Javeline Strategy study estimates Americans lost a total of $56 billion dollars in Identity Theft scams. These alarming statistics demonstrate identity theft may be the most frequent, costly and pervasive crime in the United States. This presentation will cover the various types of identity theft, to include child ID theft, medical ID theft, tax ID theft and data breaches. The ease of accessing our personal information online and through public information resources will also be discussed.
