MBL/WHOI 2010 Lunch and Learn Seminar Series
February 9, "Identity Theft Workshop" - 12:00-1:00 PM, Redfield Auditorium, WHOI
An identity theft workshop will be presented by a representative from MBL's Employee Assistance Program, the Wellness Corporation. Several years ago, identity theft wasn’t even a designated crime. Today, it is a felony under the Federal Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act of 1998 and ranks as the nation’s top consumer fraud complaint, according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in Washington, DC. In 2001, the FTC Identity Theft Data Clearinghouse, a help desk and law enforcement aid, received roughly 85,000 complaints of identity theft, surpassing all other categories of complaints. Today, the FTC receives more than 300,000 per year. The workshop will review: a) how identity theft occurs, b) how to minimize your exposure/risk, c) how to share (or not) your personal information, and d) what you should do if you become a victim.
Future offerings in the 2010 Lunch and Learn Seminar Series include:
