California is one of the states where identity theft has decreased when it comes to credit cards. It hasn't been eliminated and probably never will be. Compare the other types of identity theft and you'll see it's about the same or a little bit more or less based on the category. The other categories not mentioned in this report are criminal/character, social security, medical and drivers license identity theft. If you will note "other and attempted identity theft", you will discover these two categories cover 30% of of identity theft.
In the Real Estate business you will probably come across a client who has or will have their identity stolen. Be a good resource for them in their time of need and refer them to an Identity Theft Consultant to help them get their identity restored.
