      How does the $1 Million Identity Theft Insurance Work

      Why is this important?

      New FTC Data Show Consumers Reported Losing Nearly $8.8 Billion to Scams in 2022.

      In 2020 alone, the U.S. FTC reported over 4.7 million incidents of identity theft and fraud, leading to tangible financial losses for U.S. residents of over $3.3 billion.

      Identity thieves were busier than ever as the pandemic erupted nationwide last year, with reports of identity theft in the U.S. skyrocketing to nearly 1.4 million in 2020, more than double the number a year earlier.

      The figures released by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), a consumer protection agency, show identity theft reports last year were more than triple the number from 2018. Cases reached 1,387,615 in 2020; 650,523 in 2019; and 444,344 in 2018.

      Criminals chase headlines

      The FTC saw an astonishing 2,920 percent annual hike in the number of identity theft cases in which victims said their information was used to apply for or receive government benefits, such as unemployment compensation. The disturbing trend likely stems from the trillions of federal dollars unleashed in COVID-19 relief.

      Thieves also hijacked other peoples’ identities to obtain driver’s licenses, passports and other government-issued documents, said FTC spokesman Jay Mayfield.

      The findings are in the FTC’s 2020 Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book. The annual analysis puts the 4.7 million overall complaints from consumers into one of three buckets: identity theft; fraud; and other consumer problems such as those involving credit bureaus, bankers and lenders.
