Preventing Synthetic Identity Fraud

Published: October 15, 2020 by Alison Kray

Synthetic identity fraud, otherwise known as SID fraud, is reportedly the fastest-growing type of financial crime. One reason for its rapid growth is the fact that it’s so hard to detect, and thus prevent. This allows the SIDs to embed within business portfolios, building up lines of credit to run up charges or take large loans before “busting out” or disappearing with the funds.

In Experian’s recent perspective paper, Preventing synthetic identity fraud, we explore how SID differs from other types of fraud, and the unique steps required to prevent it. The paper also examines the financial risks of SID, including:

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.
