Florida is infamous for its connection to many of the big, and weird stories we see in the news. But it’s also number one in the nation for identity theft. Especially South Florida where ID theft in Miami has “reached epidemic proportions” with 324 ID theft complains per 100,000 residents.
Former WFOR consumer and investigative reporter Al Sunshine’s most recent piece for the RTDNA encourages the media to focus on taxpayer identity theft which costs $3.6 billion annually.
