Identity Theft Seminar on May 24th

 

 

Protecting Your Good Name & Credit Rating from Identity Theft

 

The theft and misuse of personal financial information, including credit cards, Social Security numbers and bank account access, is the fastest-growing financial crime in the U.S. today.  Identity theft can devastate not just your credit rating and bank account but tangle your left in legal complications and misunderstandings that persist for months or years.

 

In this 40-minute informational seminar you will learn: What identity Theft is and how it can happen to you, steps you can take now to protect yourself from frauds, how businesses can defend themselves and their customers and what to do if you believe you have been victimized. 

 

Please join us on Saturday, May 24, 2014 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM to hear about identity Theft.  This FREE seminar will be held at the Taos Public Library, Library Community Room.  Savvy Investor seminars are presented as a public service as part of the N.M. Securities Division Investor Information Program.  For more information, please contact:  Bernice Geiger at 505-476-4507

Ribbon cutting will take place on Wednesday, May 14^th at 4:00 pm in the library’s Teen Room. Town of Taos Mayor, Dan Barrone will do the honors.
