Identity Theft Continues to Victimize Millions Each Year

Filed under: Id Theft Fraud — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 7:45 pm


Identity Theft Continues to Victimize Millions Each Year

Columbus, Ohio (Vocus) October 20, 2010

Apprisen Financial Advocates is a national nonprofit consumer credit counseling agency that provides personal financial counseling and financial education. When something happens 10 million times per year, it’s worth noting, and in recent years, that’s how many victims of identity theft have reported the abuse to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Further, ID theft has remained the number one complaint to the FTC for the past five years.

It can start the old-fashioned way with lost or stolen wallets, pilfered mail, or through documents thrown out by you or a business (dumpster diving). A consumer may also be victimized through more high-tech crimes including a data breach, computer virus, phishing or an Internet scam. Once the personal information is stolen, the crime can result in check fraud, credit card fraud, financial identity theft, criminal identity theft, governmental identity theft and medical identity theft.

Recognizing that awareness and education are essential tools necessary for consumers to protect themselves against ID theft, the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) has teamed with the Council of Better Business Bureaus (CBBB) to host the third annual Protect Your Identity Week October 17-23. During the week there are 175 local events in communities across the nation where consumers can take part in educational workshops, credit report reviews, responsibly recycle unused cell phones and have their personal documents shredded for free.

Consumers are urged to visit http://www.ProtectYourIDNow.org where they can locate events in their area, find useful prevention tips, victim resources, and take a quiz to assess their own risk of becoming the next identity theft victim.

“A recent NFCC online poll revealed that a majority of Americans fear identity theft, and that is a healthy fear to have if it leads them to take action,” said Michael S. Kappas, President and CEO, Apprisen Financial Advocates. “The upcoming educational events should go a long way toward help consumers protect themselves from the ever-present danger of identity theft.” For more information on ID Theft or what to do if you are a victim, call 800-355.2227.

Javelin Strategy & Research 2011 Identity Fraud Survey Report Co-Sponsored by Fiserv, Intersections and Wells Fargo. In 2010, identity theft and fraud claimed fewer victims than in any other period since Javelin began conducting survey in 2003. Driving that decrease was the reduced rate of existing account fraud, although incidents of all types of fraud dropped from 2009. Meanwhile, consumer costs, the average out-of-taken dollar amount victims pay, increased, reversing a downward trend in recent years. This increase can be attributed to new account fraud, which showed longer periods of misuse and detection and therefore more dollar losses associated with it than any other type of fraud. The Javelin 2011 Identity Fraud Survey Report provides a detailed, comprehensive analysis of identity fraud in the United States to aid consumers and businesses better apprehended the effectiveness of methods used for its prevention, detection and resolution.

Identity Theft Expert To Lead Anti-Fraud Workshop June 14

Filed under: Id Fraud Prevention — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 1:48 pm


Identity Theft Expert To Lead Anti-Fraud Workshop June 14

Atlanta, Ga. (PRWEB) June 9, 2006

J. R. Wilson, President of Patriot Dealer.com, will share identity theft prevention tips and tactics during a workshop slated for inclusion in the 2006 National Automotive Finance (NAF) Association conference, scheduled for June 12-14 in Fort Worth, Texas.

“Losses are beginning to mount for the automobile industry as false identification is being used to purchase vehicles that are never paid for,” told NAF Executive Director Jack Tracey. “J. R. Wilson will be serving on a panel that will be addressing this issue. He brings a background and an unique perspective to this topic and his session will help dealers and finance company combat this growing threat.”

On June 14 at 12:30 p.m., Wilson will sit lift-to-shoulder with U. S. Secret Service Agent Ed Donovan and CMSI President Chip Riordan to discuss fraud prevention strategies such as employing anti-fraud technology like Wilson’s identity authentication tool Smart ID. An online, interactive system, SmartID is accessed through Wilson’s OFAC compliance service Web site http://www.patriotdealer.com. The easy-to-use tool is specifically designed to avoid fraud at the point of purchase by scouring a database of over 4,000 sources and 33 billion records to formulate individualize questioned for the applicant. Only when the potential customer correctly answers the questions can the sale move ship.

“It’s the only, pro-active identity authentication tool available,” Wilson explained. And now that PatriotDealer has submitted a patent application to the U.S. Patent and Trade Office, Wilson hopes to ensure that Smart ID is the only tool of its kind—anywhere.

“We don’t want dealers or consumers to be confused by a potential flood of other products that try—and fail—to mimic Smart ID’s process,” Wilson said. “Other serviced only either report discrepancies in name, address or Social Security number on file, or they only verify that an identity exists—not that the identity belongs to the person applying for credit. We want to make sure dealers cognize where to twist for the only true identification authentication system available.”

Wilson is dedicated to educating consumers and businesses about tools like SmartID and other methods of identity theft prevention. Widely considered an expert on the subject—Wilson was featured in an Atlanta Journal Constitution article in March, and has been called upon to assisted draft an anti-fraud bill for the Georgia General Assembly—Wilson has shared his expertise during other high profile industry conferences such as the Association of Automobile Internet Sales Professionals’ March 2006 conference.

“(Wilson) has an unique perspective and background on this increasingly critical issue that’s confronting automotive dealers,” said AAISP President Lloyd Richardson.

For Wilson, it’s all in a day’s work. “It is extremely important to engage financial lenders in dialogue about the best practices of fraud prevention because they’re facing record losses,” Wilson said. “I want to do all I can to educate businesses and consumers about this crime.”

About PatriotDealer.com

PatriotDealer.com, established in 2002, is the most recognized OFAC compliance service in the industry with a customer base that includes some of the largest dealership groups in the country. Its online identity verification system, Smart ID, was launched in 2005 to provide dealerships with an unique and immediately accessible method to fight the type of identity fraud that costs billions of dollars to businesses annually.
