Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information, such as your name and Social Security number or credit card number, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) estimates as many as 10 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. In fact, you or someone you know may have already experienced some form of identity theft.
There are steps you can take to reduce the risk of thieves getting hold of your personal information, quickly detect a problem, and restore your good name if you have been victimized.
They are the “3 D’s” of identity protection.
I invite you to attend an information session on this topic, and learn about the steps each of us can take to fight identity theft. You’ll learn about how identity thieves work, and what you can do to make this crime more difficult for them.
