Depending on the definition of ID theft, the total could be much higher. If check fraud and use of stolen credit cards and SS# is included, the numbers approach 10% of the population.

Lifeock is aso being sued by Experian for fraud...you see..its illegal for somone other than you to put a fraud alert on your accounts! Besides SS(which only pays one claim per SS#)there is medical IDT,DMV IDT,Financial also!
Most people are aware of the HIPPA laws regarding patient confidentiality,many are not aware of Facta laws, and the New Red-Flag Rule enacted in January 08 about non-public information. There will be criminal and civil penalties for
businesses that are non-compliant in Nov 08! Identity Theft is Serious...and you better do something about it!
