Due to the confusion and fear of consumers, identity fraud protection services are a marketer’s dream: three out of four consumers believe that identity fraud is on the rise, despite steady declines in the crime over the past three years. The industry has responded to this growing awareness and concern with an array of direct-to-consumer services, such as credit monitoring, fraud alerts, data mining and most recently, credit freezes.
