June, 2009 Membership Meeting Highlights
Identity Theft
Presented by Sgt. Kevin Cavanaugh - St Louis County Police Department.
FTC.gov says, “Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personally identifying information, like your name, Social Security number, or credit card number, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes.” This is a benign definition for one of the most terrifying white collar crimes in modern times. One can’t turn on the television without being bombarded with offers for free credit reports, identity theft insurance, etc. It doesn’t take much research to discover a company founder for one of these products was the victim of identity theft after he started hawking his company’s product on TV.
Estimates on the FTC website say that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. The odds are that some- one you know has experienced some form of identity theft. Identity theft crimes may involve thieves renting an apartment, or obtaining a credit card, or establishing a telephone account in your name. The theft may not be known to you until you review a credit card statement, get a call from a debt collector, or are denied credit on a legitimate application.
Sgt. Kevin Cavanaugh of the St. Louis County Police Department will present a program on credit card fraud and how individuals can protect themselves. His presentation will also touch on internet auction fraud (Craigslist, and Ebay) and the latest scams being perpetrated in the St. Louis area.
