How Bad is Identity Theft and Fraud?
Many people don’t realize the size or scope of the problem. It’s an epidemic. Simply read the frightening headlines and statistics:
- 8.9 million adults are predicted to be victims of identity theft in 2006…
- The Javelin report projects a fraud loss from identity theft of $56.6 billion in 2006…
- Nearly one in two households report being victimized by white collar crime in the past year…
- Authorities overwhelmed by sharp rise in identity theft crimes…
Fraud and identity theft crimes can affect anyone, from your elderly neighbor or your web-surfing teen to mom-and-pop shops and mega corporations. The scam artists that perpetuate these crimes take a huge toll on their victims both financially and emotionally. Although identity theft is the most highly publicized crime today, in reality little is being done to track down the criminals behind this growing threat.
A Call to Action: Why You Need Fraud and Identity Theft Training
Despite the rapid rise in these crimes, law enforcement has been ill-equipped to do much about this costly assault. Why? Because training has focused on traditional criminals and law enforcement tactics. But the truth is traditional criminals have moved on. The old rules and tactics simply do not apply. And it’s costing us all billions of dollars.
To protect against attacks on consumers, seniors and business by scam artists and frauds you need a different type of training. You need training that is up-to-date and answers questions such as:
- What is the profile of the new cyber criminal and scam artist?
- Which techniques are scam artists using to dupe their victims?
- What can we do to prevent the rise in identity theft and fraud?
- How can we expose these crooks and cons?
- Which investigative techniques work and why?
- How can electronic evidence be gathered and used to put fraudsters away?
