1 in 10 home owners are at risk of ID crime
Royal Mail have conducted one of the largest studies of home movers in the UK which reveals people are putting themselves at risk of ID crime by not redirecting their mail when they move home.
Royal Mail commissioned Ipsos MORI to conduct the third report into home movers experiences and concerns when it comes to the property market.
The latest findings have been released as part of Citizen’s Advice, Scam Awareness Month. The awareness campaign, now in its third year, aims to give people the knowledge they need to spot and combat fraud. Cifas revealed that there were 34,151 confirmed instances of identity fraud in the first quarter of 2015, a 27% increase from the same period of the previous year.
