Guest Speaker
Pres. Paul Cotton introduced Sgt. Sharon Cavanaugh, Laconia Police
Dept., to the club. She advises that identity theft is a real
and wide-spread problem where people are advises to take certain
precautions to protect their personal information. There are
three types of offenses: financial, criminal, and cloning. In
the first, personal information is used to gain credit or to
access bank accounts. Criminal identity theft is when someone's
information is used to secure driver's licenses for other government
documents. Cloning is when your information is used to actually
allow someone to masquerade as you. Locally, identity thieves
use low-tech methods such as searching garbage and mail boxes
for information. Mail should be kept secure and trashed documents
shredded. If you think you may be a victim of identity theft
you may get help from here: consumer.gov/idtheft, freecreditreport.com, 1-877-IDTHEFT, 1-877-FTC-HELP, and 1-888-5-OPTOUT.
All Set
Sec.'y Kathy Calvin advises that Ed Darling says we will not
