| We're nearing the end of Identity Theft Awareness Week, but there's still lots on tap and a chance to catch conversations you may have missed. Please join us to learn how to help protect yourself, your family, and your small business from identity theft, and what to do if identity theft happens. Concerned about tax-related identity theft? Today we're talking with the IRS in a live webinar where you'll have a chance to ask questions. We also have video presentations with Consumer Action in English and Spanish, focused on tax-related identity theft, IRS impersonators, and scams that target your personal information and your money. Young adults — identity theft and scams can affect you too. Join the FTC and the Identity Theft Resource Center for five short podcasts talking with college students about identity theft basics and job, financial aid, impersonator, and social media takeover scams. The last two podcasts drop today and tomorrow, and all five podcasts will be available on demand. Others we've spoken with this week include AARP, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Maryland Library for the Blind and Print Disabled, and the Small Business Administration. Find a full listing of events in English and Spanish at Identity Theft Awareness Week. Did you miss a webinar or podcast? Events available on demand are listed too. We thank all of our partners for joining us to discuss the warning signs of identity theft, easy steps to help stop identity thieves, and identity theft recovery. And, we thank you for joining the conversation. Remember, if you experience identity theft, visit IdentityTheft.gov to report it and get a personal recovery plan. And, if you spot a scam, tell us about it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. |
