Insights from the Stories of Familial Identity Theft Victims

Familial identity theft occurs when an individual obtains and uses the personal identifying information of a relative without his/her knowledge or consent.  This is an increasing problem affecting individuals at all ages and stages of life, but often remains hidden from view due to underreporting.  This webinar will provide information on familial identity theft through the sharing of victims’ experiences.  Insights from these experiences and how financial professionals can utilize them will be shared as well.
