BBC joins the fight against ID Fraud
News Article template
The BBC have given its
backing to the National Identity Fraud Prevention Week highlighting the
need
for extra
precautions with
articles on BBC News and features on The One Show.
Statistics compiled for
NIFW show a third of UK
employees throw sensitive documents in the bin instead of shredding
them
potentially leaving themselves open to fraud and data theft.
The finding also reported that almost three-quarters of workers felt
their businesses
could do more to protect customer’s sensitive information.
Identity fraud costs the UK
more than £1.2bn annually. The UK's
Fraud Prevention Service says 60,000 people have already been a victim
so far
this year.
ID fraud involves fraudsters stealing personal details
and then
using them - often to apply for credit or benefits in their victim's
name.
