Abstract
The Javelin 2006 Identity Fraud Survey Report provides a comprehensive
analysis of identity fraud in the United States, in order to help consumers
and businesses better understand the sources of identity fraud and the actions
that should be taken to mitigate it. Co-released by the Better Business
Bureau, this report is an update to the Javelin 2005 Identity Fraud Survey
Report and the Federal Trade Commission' s 2003 Identity Theft Survey Report.
5000 adults, including 505 victims, representative of the U.S. census
demographics distribution, were interviewed to develop an in-depth insight on
this crime. The survey is the largest and most comprehensive survey ever
conducted on the subject of identity fraud.
This report analyzes responses to the 44-question survey and offers new facts
on how identity fraud occurs; identifying its trends and financial costs, and
providing answers to key questions for consumers, merchants, financial
services, billers, law enforcement, government agencies and consumer advocacy
groups.
