It's also interesting to note that Javelin's research is some of the only research that shows ID theft on the decline, and it was conveniently funded by Visa, Wells Fargo, and CheckFree. These are companies that might have just a little stake in the public believing that ID theft isn't a major problem. For an interesting article on this at consumeraffairs.com, see this link: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/02/ftc_top10_folo.html
The Gartner Group's data and the FTC's data indicate that ID theft is still on the rise. There are a number of factors to consider in the statistics either way.

The numbers can vary widely depending on the source and how the data is manipulated and reported. For certain, though, is that ID theft is a major problem and it is here to stay.
