PROGRAM (February 11, 2003)

BOB FEUER introduced Jeffery Rooze with the Lafayette Police Department. Officer Rooze gave us a very interesting program about Identity Theft. Identity Theft is the #1 upcoming crime of the century. In 1992 there were only 32,000 cases reported and in 2001 there were over 750,000. The definition of Identity Theft is when someone assumes YOUR identity falsely for the purpose of getting credit cards or bank loans.

How do they do it? The easiest way is to steal your mail or to pick through your trash. Tips: -Take your SS number off your driver's license. -Shred any mail that has any personal information on it. -Do no business over the phone -Get a copy of your credit report and keep an eye on it.
