The thief then uses that information to pose as that person, usually to get credit or make purchases in that other person's name. Have you yourself or someone you know ever been the victim of identity theft?" -- 33% "Yes"/ 65% "No"
  • "How often do you check your credit report, bank statement or other financial documents for signs of ID theft? Regularly? Occasionally? Or almost never?" -- 48% "Regularly"
