Nearly half of Canadians expect to be a victim of ID theft
(CP) - As identity theft continues to plague the international community, a survey suggests that nearly one in 15 Canadians has been a victim while nearly half thought they'd probably become one in the future.
The poll, conducted by SOM on behalf of telephone assistance company Sigma Assistel, found that Canadians suffered losses of $16.3 million from the crime.
But 60 per cent of those polled said they'd made efforts to protect themselves with actions such as buying a shredder (45 per cent), installing a house alarm (30 per cent), or renting a safety deposit box (30 per cent).
Some hadn't made any efforts to stop the theft because they either didn't feel the need to (38 per cent), didn't know enough about it or how to protect themselves (28 per cent) or didn't think it was possible to prevent it (18 per cent).
Sigma Assistel suggested several ways that Canadians could protect themselves from identity theft.
The company suggests included never confirming bank card PIN codes, credit card numbers, social insurance number, or driver's license information by telephone or e-mail unless the user initiated the request themselves.
Collect your mail every day, the company also suggested, because personal information is easily accessible through unlocked mailboxes.
Sigma Assistel also suggested using a credit card with a low credit limit to buy products and services online.
The national identity theft survey was conducted by SOM through 1,510 interviews with a maximum margin of error of 2.6 per cent, or 19 times out of 20.
