ABOUT NATIONAL IDENTITY FRAUD
PREVENTION WEEK
National Identity Fraud Prevention Week is a nationwide awareness campaign designed to help you protect yourself and your business from identity fraud, one of the UK's fastest growing crimes.
This year the campaign is being supported by the BBC's Adrian Chiles. I am pleased to lend my support to National Identity Fraud Prevention Week.
With the assistance of media coverage and campaigns like this, awareness of identity fraud has grown in the UK but people are still unaware or simply ignoring advice and vast numbers continue to fall victim.
This site has been created to help you and your business understand how identity fraud occurs and how you can take steps to protect yourself. You can download your free guide to Protecting Your Identity or you can take our online Identity Fraud - Are You At Risk? test to assess how safe your identity really is.
THE FACTS ABOUT ID FRAUD
Identity fraud occurs when a person's personal information is used by someone else without their knowledge to obtain credit, goods or other services fraudulently. It can even extend to securing a passport in their name.
A quarter of the UK population has been affected by identity fraud or knows somebody who has.
