Identity theft impacts 10 million people annually. Government and industry are scrambling for solutions. Discover what techniques scammers use so fraud doesn’t happen to you.

• Find out what puts you at risk.
• Protect your Social Security (SS) number.
• Identify sources that have your SS number.
• Protect mail and proprietary information.
• Defend yourself against phone fraud.
• Get a head start before the crime gets you.
