Identity Theft Speaker
Contact me to speak to your group about identity theft. I will motivate them to take proactive steps to protect themselves, your customers, and your business from identity theft.
Many Types of Identity Theft
Financial fraud is a common type of identity theft but ID thieves use stolen identities in other ways as well.
Some thieves use your identity to get jobs.
Thieves can use your identity to access medical treatment resulting in bills and false health information in your medical records. You didn't know you had your appendix removed???
A false criminal record is possible too. Your identity thief can get arrested as you and get released on bail. Will your thief show up for your court date? You'll protest your innocence all the way to jail. Will your employer believe you are a victim of identity theft?
ID Theft is Challenging to Eliminate
There is no silver bullet to kill identity theft. Gaining fraudulent advantage using another's identity has been going on since Jacob stole his brother's identity a long time ago as noted in the Bible Genesis chapter 27.
The battle against identity theft is waged on several fronts to include effective legislation and prosecution, data protection practices by businesses and individuals and better identification documents just to name a few.
Identity Theft Awareness
The best deterrent to identity theft and most crimes is to raise awareness and educate businesses and individuals.- What methods do ID thieves use to steal your information?
- What roadblocks can you place in the path of your ID thief?
- How should you react if your identity is stolen?
- What red flags should employees look for when a thief is trying to steal identity information about their customers?
