    Identity Theft Course

    Identity theft is a type of fraud that has increased dramatically in recent years. According to CIFAS, identity theft accounts for 41% of all fraud. One reason is the availability of large quantities of personal details online.

    Identity theft happens when criminals obtain and misuse someone's personal data, such as their name, address, date of birth, financial details and passwords, to commit fraud. It can happen to anyone, including your employees, suppliers and customers.

    Our Identify Theft Course helps your employees to understand what identify theft is, how it works, how to spot the tell-tale signs and how to prevent it.
