"Scams of identity theft have exploded in recent years, and BBBs across North America hear every day from consumers and businesses who have been victimized. The most critical tool we have to fight identity theft is awareness. The only way we are going to stop it is to educate consumers on how to spot it before they give away critical information.”

“This past year was one where there were both successes and setbacks for consumers, institutions and fraudsters,” said Jim Van Dyke, CEO of Javelin Strategy & Research. “Consumers and institutions are now starting to act as partners—detecting and stopping fraud faster than ever before. But fraudsters are acting quicker than ever before and victimizing more consumers. Consumers must take data breach notifications more seriously and maintain vigilance to safeguard personal information, especially Social Security numbers.”
