Identity Theft is the Crime of the Next
Century - Are you Ready?
Ask yourself this question: a decade ago, who would have thought a
paper shredder would be part of almost every household, and why? Do
you know what methods are being used to steal your hard earned Social
Security Checks, Retirement funds, other assets, etc? What can you do
about it?
Attorney Generals and other top law enforcement officials are calling
identity theft the "Crime of the Next Century." This month we are
privileged to have David Bebout, an Identity Theft Expert Consultant
with Prepaid Legal, speak to us on the ever-increasing problems of
identity theft; how to protect ourselves from it and what to do if it
happens.
David
Bebout attended Davenport Business College and served our country in
the Army during the first Gulf War. After retiring from active
military duty, he became aware of another way he could serve
his
country: by educating the public on how technology has affected the
increase of identify theft. In his position with Prepaid Legal
Services, Inc., he counsels individuals on how to avoid identity
theft. Prepaid Legal offers Identity Theft coverage, among other
things, in the event their customers should be victimized.
David's talk should be very informative and entertaining. I am sure he
will be glad to entertain any questions you might have on the subject.
For our members, the prizes we have to give away this month are a 1
gig SanDisk Cruzer Mini USB flash drive and a six-sheet, diamond cut
paper shredder. Also, we have a free membership to the Computer Club
of Oklahoma City for one of our visitors and a 10-pack of CD-RWs in
cases for another visitor. Please ask your friends to come and join us
for this fun and informative evening.
Coffee and cookies will be served; soft drinks are available for $.50.
See you on Thursday, October 19 at 7:00 pm.
