I would never have guessed that this would be the number one crime in Maine. But it makes perfect sense.

It's identity theft according to the 2015 Maine Crime Victimization Survey. It's also the crime that goes unreported the most too! Less than 1 in 5 are reported! Each survey that is done, identity theft keeps going up...by leaps and bounds!

 

The Portland Press Herald did a great in-depth story on the survey and other findings.

 

Have you been the victim of identity theft? Did you report it? What have you done to protect yourself?

Comment here, or on Facebook. I've been lucky...so far so good. Knock on wood! Oh man, I hope I just didn't jinx myself!
