Inform USA Webinar - The Realities of Identity Theft and Resources for Clients
- Registration Closed
The Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 1999 to support victims of identity theft in resolving their cases and to broaden public education and awareness in the understanding of identity theft, data breaches, cybersecurity, scams/fraud and privacy issues. We are an essential resource for victims and consumers. Our mission is to stop the hardship and helplessness caused by identity theft and cybercrime. We do this by providing direct services to victims of identity theft and are the first stop on their road to resolving their cases. We also engage in education and awareness activities to elevate people’s appreciation of the value of their identities by being attentive to ways of minimizing their risk of becoming a victim and becoming informed on related scams/fraud issues that can lead to identity theft victimization. We provide our services via our toll-free call center, LiveChat, ID Theft Help app, and social media platforms. We primarily assist low- to moderate-income families and individuals; however, our services are available to anyone regardless of income or state of residence.
ITRC will discuss the findings from the 2021 Consumer Aftermath® Report: How Identity Crimes Impact Victims, their Families, Friends and Workplaces. The Consumer Aftermath Report captures the emotional, physical, and lost opportunities of identity crime victimization, focusing on the additional challenges created by fraud during the COVID-19 pandemic.
