Young Renters Most Likely to Fall Prey to Identity Fraud

Young renters on low to middle incomes are the demographic most likely to fall victim to identity fraud, according to new analysis from Experian. Experian’s analysis reveals single people in their 20s and 30s, living in rented accommodation, are the group most likely to become a victim of identity theft and almost twice as likely to be targeted than the national average. Of all criminal cases of identity theft uncovered between August 2013 and August 2014, almost one in five victims fell into this category (19 per cent). Read more o the Experian website.
