Free Information About Identity Theft From the FTC

Were you aware that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) offers information about combating Identity Theft? Guides and booklets about topics such as Personal Identity Theft, Stimulus Scams (Phishing), advice on purchasing and using Identify Theft services, and Protecting Personal Information for Businesses are available for download in PDF format.

The materials are well-written, free, and easy to understand. I've personally used their guide "Take Charge: Fighting Back Against Identity Theft" to include in a security awareness program I developed and found it to be invaluable. The nice thing about having access to them electronically is the ability to forward them to friends and family who might never know about or be able to obtain this information. We recommend starting with this guide first.

We recommend that you visit their site and check out their materials as soon as possible!
