ID theft criminals score during back-to-school time
Individuals ages 29 and younger represent 26 percent of all ID-theft victims.
And as the back-to-school season revs up and students in this age bracket begin
registering and enrolling in classes, completing health forms and sharing
emergency contacts, ID-theft criminals are ramping up efforts to steal personal
information. According to the Federal Trade Commission, 6 percent of
identity-theft complaints involve victims who are 19 years old and younger.
Another 20 percent of complaints involve victims who range in age from 20 to 29,
a demographic that includes those who are entering college or are new to the
workforce. Those percentages mean that some 786,000 people 19 years old and
younger and 2.6 million 20- to 29-year-olds will become identity-theft victims
each year. (Source
