Maxon Seminar Series – Preventing Identity Theft

Identity theft is a popular topic these days and for good reason. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) estimates that as many as nine million Americans have their identities stolen each year.  Because of this, understanding identity theft precautions is important to prevent these frauds and scams.  There are many types of fraud and scams ranging from irritating to costly and criminal.  Understanding identity theft, how thieves and scams work, and how to protect yourself from them is your best defense. In this 3 hour course we’ll talk about identity theft precautions and how to protect yourself as a consumer.

Identity (ID) theft is a crime where a thief steals your personal information, such as your full name or social security number, to commit fraud. The identity thief can use your information to fraudulently apply for credit, file taxes, or get medical services. These acts can damage your credit status, and cost you time and money to restore your good name. You may not know that you are the victim of ID theft until you experience a financial consequence (mystery bills, credit collections, and denied loans) down the road from actions that the thief has taken with your stolen identity.
