Identity Crime is on a sharp raise in the U.S. In December
2003 the FTC received over ½ million reported consumer
Fraud and Identity theft complaints. Victims lost more than
400 million dollars in 2003, and growing out of control.
The police are out-numbered. It’s almost impossible
to control the case load. The criminal is coming up with
new ways to steal identities each day. Most departments

answered, do the job and do it well. They will know who
to contact during their investigation and what agencies
can and will help them. They will be informed of free resources
