Of the top ten worst states for fraud, the state of Maryland currently ranks #9. It has the third-greatest level of fraud reports, ranks ninth for identity theft complaints, and has the highest rate of fraud regarding debt collection. For identity theft, the most common complaint is employment-related fraud, which poses a great threat to Maryland business owners.

According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Maryland had 4,840 reports of identity theft in 2020. This represents a rate of 80.2 reports per 100,000 population, which is slightly lower than the national rate of 89.5 reports per 100,000 population.
The Maryland Attorney General’s Office provides additional statistics on identity theft in the state. According to their data, there were 4,669 reported cases of identity theft in Maryland in 2020, which was a decrease from the 5,023 cases reported in 2019. The most common types of identity theft reported in Maryland were credit card fraud, government document/benefit fraud, and phone or utility fraud.
It’s important to note that these statistics only reflect reported cases of identity theft, and not all instances of identity theft are reported. Additionally, the incidence of identity theft can vary depending on a number of factors, including population, demographics, and local economic conditions.
