     Lecture: Identify Theft
{Lecture: Identity Theft}

Tuesday, February 23, 2010, 6:30PM

By Detective Jonathan Heisse from the New Holland Police Department.  
 

It is estimated that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. In fact, you or someone you know may have experienced some form of identity theft. While some identity theft victims can resolve their problems quickly, others spend hundreds of dollars and many days repairing damage to their good name and credit record. Don't let this happen to you! Attend this invaluable lecture. Can't afford not to!
