Identity Theft Survey Report 2003 - Contact with local law enforcement.


· A total of 26% of all Identity Theft victims contacted a local law enforcement agency.
 
· 17% of victims who suffered only the misuse of existing credit cards contacted local law enforcement, while 43% of those whose information was used to open new accounts or commit other types of fraud did so.
 
· Victims in cases involving greater amounts were more likely to contact local law enforcement. A majority (54%) of victims where the value lost was $5,000 or more contacted the police, compared to 16% of victims in cases involving less than $1,000.
 
· Of the 26% of victims who contacted a local law enforcement agency, three quarters said that the local agency took the complaint and filed a report describing the Identity Theft. (A report was slightly more likely to be taken if the victim’s information was used to open new accounts or to commit other frauds than if only existing accounts – whether credit card or other accounts – were misused (82% v 73%).)
 
· Non-white victims were more likely than whites to contact the police (34% of non-white victims v 23% of white victims). Police were more likely to take a report if the misuse was discovered more quickly. A report was taken in 83% of cases where the misuse was discovered within 5 months of the initial misuse of the victim’s information. Where it took 6 months or more to discover the misuse, reports were only taken in 47% of cases.
