Identity theft protection is designed to protect individuals from becoming victims of identity theft. Crimes involving the theft of an individual's identity represent the fastest growing segment of white collar crime. According to the Federal Trade Commission, nearly ten million people are victims of identity theft every year in the United States. According to the FTC, the largest number of identity theft cases involves credit card theft. These cases can occur when an individual gets access to your credit card number, either by physically stealing the card or taking the numbers. Thieves can get access to your credit card numbers using fairly simple technologies when you make a purchase in a store and online. Another way credit card identity theft occurs is by criminals stealing and redirecting the victim's mail. Once they have successfully stolen the information needed, they can use existing credit cards and start opening new accounts using the identity of the victim.
