Learning Objective

  • To recognize the various types of identity theft.
  • To identify how to protect yourself from identity thieves.
  • To discuss various types of identity thefts.
  • To analyze steps that can be taken to help prevent identity theft

Course Overview

Identity theft is any kind of deception, scam, or crime that results in the loss of personal data, including the loss of usernames, passwords, banking information, credit card numbers, Social Security Numbers, and health IDs, that is then used without your permission to commit fraud and other crimes.

For some consumers, identity theft is an annoying inconvenience and they can quickly resolve their problems and restore their identity. For others recovering their identity can cost hundreds, even thousands of dollars, take months to resolve, cause tremendous damage to their reputation, cause them to lose job opportunities, and even influence the rejection of loan applications for school, homes, or cars because would-be employers or loan companies see the damage on your credit scores. Some consumers have even been arrested for crimes committed by someone using their identities and have had to prove that they were not guilty.

This online CPE course is designed by speaker Robert Minniti for individuals who would like to obtain a basic understanding of identity theft and how to protect themselves and their personal information from identity thieves.

The following are the major topics covered in this CPE course:

  • Various types of identity thefts
  • How the criminals gain access to personal information and commit fraud.
  • Review of the legal and ethical implications involved 
  • Steps that can be taken to help prevent identity theft
  • Internal controls organizations can implement to reduce the risk of loss from identity
  • Procedures for reporting instances of identity theft
  • Investigative procedures for conducting an identity theft fraud investigation

This CPE/CPD webinar discusses personal steps individuals can take to protect themselves from being a victim of identity theft and is appropriate for anyone worried about identity theft.

This course was very eye-opening. It's amazing to see how technology has made human interaction more risky than ever. I have taken multiple courses from this instructor. Best one I've seen so far.

I enjoyed the webinar. My only suggestion would be to place more time on remediation steps once you are a victim of fraud as the bulk of the time was spent on the various types of identity theft.
