Identity Fraud Courses

In 2025, a record 444,993 cases were filed to the NFD, including more than 242,000 cases of identity fraud. Although identity fraud filings fell by 3% year-on-year, it is still the most common case type, accounting for over half of all reports.

This modest reduction is  accounted for by a shift in criminal tactics rather than a reduction in harm, with fraudsters increasingly targeting account takeovers, particularly via mobile phones. - Fraudscape 2026

Some parents have even reported that they are unable to tell the difference between their child’s actual voice and an AI rendition of the voice. View Course Details
