It’s a no-brainer that London is the UK’s identity theft capital; those living in Richmond, Wimbledon, Kensington and Chelsea are particularly targeted as those are the richest areas. If you in this metropolis, you are twice as likely to become a victim of ID theft.

 

Next, the ‘commuter towns’, i.e. St Albans, Guildford and Windsor are also highly targeted; along with Woking, Camberley, Maidenhead, Redhill, Bracknell, Bishops Stortford, Horsham and Bromley.

 

Outside of the London area, major cities such as Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Glasgow, Bristol, Cardiff, Aberdeen and Inverness have higher-than-average risks of identity theft.
