Identity theft

Identity theft is a growing threat; it has a devastating impact on victims, and facilitates a wide range of harmful policy and claims scams.

In our latest Prevention campaign, we're highlighting how a seven-fold rise in cases of identity theft is fueling policy fraud, and have revealed the UK's top policy fraud hotspots to help protect those most at risk.

Now more than ever, it's vital that everyone is vigilant to the signs of policy fraud and if they think their details have been used in an insurance scam, to report it to our CheatLine.

Other forms of these frauds include individuals misrepresenting their own information for financial gain (opportunistic fraud).
