Identity Theft Continues to Rise
New numbers show identity theft is a growing concern.
According to the Federal Trading Commission (FTC), out of nearly 700,000 fraud complaints across the nation this past year, more than a third were identity theft. Sixty-three percent were other kinds of fraud, with most happening over the Internet.
Consumers reported a loss of $680 million through fraud. Delmarva residents who spoke with WBOC say that they are not taking any risks when it comes to their identities and their wallets.
