¿Alguna vez te han robado la identidad o la de alguien que conoces? Cada dos segundos, a alguien le roban la identidad. Son 30 robos cada minuto, 300 cada 10 minutos, 900 cada media hora... así que ocurre con frecuencia y le puede ocurrir a cualquier persona.

Have you, or someone you know, had their identity stolen? Someone’s identity is stolen every two seconds. That’s 30 every minute, 300 every 10 minutes, 900 every half hour… so it happens often, and can happen to anyone.
