Abstract
The Javelin 2008 Identity Fraud Survey Report: Card Issuer Version provides a
detailed, comprehensive analysis of credit card and debit card identity fraud
in the United States in order to help card issuers better understand the
effectiveness of methods used for its prevention, detection and resolution. A
nationally representative sample of over 5,000 US adults, including 445 fraud
victims, was surveyed via a 49-question phone interview to gain insight into
this crime and the effects on its victims. This report is a condensed issue of
the full 2008 Identity Fraud Survey Report, specifically for card issuers. The
full report is issued as a longitudinal update to the Javelin 2005, 2006, and
2007 Identity Fraud Survey reports.
