According to U.S. Department of Justice statistics, identity theft will soon replace drug trafficking as the Number One crime in the nation. In fact, every 60 seconds, more than 28 people become a victim of identity theft, costing companies an estimated $56.6 billion annually. No matter the cause or how it is discovered, for the victim, identity theft typically leads to many lost hours of work and sleep dealing with creditors to clean up the mess and restore accounts.
