About the ITRC Consumer Impact Report
From August 2024 to July 2025, the ITRC responded to requests for direct assistance from 4,122 individuals seeking help with addressing the impacts of identity theft, fraud and scams, as well as requests for identity protection information. In August 2025, the ITRC sent emails to a representative sample of those individuals who self-identified as victims, four percent (4%) of whom responded by completing an online survey questionnaire administered by SurveyMonkey.
To get a broader view of the trends and impacts affecting consumers in general, we asked similar questions to a group of 1,033 general consumers who may or may not have been a victim of an identity crime. These general consumers completed a similar, but not identical, online survey questionnaire to the ITRC victims.
