Fraud affecting existing credit cards rose 69%, while fraud on existing non-card accounts, including checking and insurance, jumped 73%.<\/p>\n<p>The impact of identity fraud substantially increased, as the average per-victim loss from traditional identity fraud rose by $201 to $1,551, with identity fraud scams costing an average of $1,029 per victim. And that\u2019s not even counting the time invested in rectifying identity theft issues; the report found that ID theft victims spent an average of nine hours resolving their issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 2021 losses are staggering and underscore how damaging identity fraud has become,\u201d Kathy Stokes, director of Fraud Prevention Programs at AARP, said in a press release. \u201cInstitutions must show empathy for the financial and emotional toll that identity fraud takes on its victims, who expect \u2014 and deserve \u2014 to be treated with respect, regardless of their situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Javelin study also found that the majority of financial fraud victims (54%) want their financial institution to provide fraud prevention resources and help them resolve their fraud issues.<\/p>\n<p>Javelin\u2019s 2022 ID Fraud survey was conducted online among 5,000 U.S. adults over the age of 18, using a sample representative of the U.S. census demographics distribution.
