Identity Theft: Adult School Offers Course

In 2004 over 9.2 million incidents of identity theft resulted in some $53 Billion in losses! It is perhaps the fastest growing crime in our nation today. From simple ‘dumpster diving’ to using Quit Claim Deeds and stealing your home plus the variations in between. Learn how these thieves steal information and what you can do to reduce the likelihood and minimize loss if victimized in "Identity Theft- how to prevent it and what to do if victimized".
