Introduction to Identity Theft

Join us here at the library as visitors from First Merchants Bank discuss identity theft as well as how to avoid and recover from it.

Conscious protection of your identity and personal information is a crucial component of financial wellness - in this course, we'll teach you how to be prepared. During this workshop, you'll learn to identify and avoid common online threats and scams and practice assessing your risk for identity theft or fraud. We'll coach you on how to protect your identity and sensitive documents as well as teach tips for managing your digital footprint. We'll also highlight your rights as a consumer, the protections you're entitled to, and guide you through reporting and recovering from fraud or identity theft.
