Identity theft has been called "the fastest growing crime in history."
 

Now you can teach your audience how identity thieves work and how to avoid being victimized. Identity Theft offers three case re-enactments that illustrate some of the most common ways criminals use personal, customer, and employee information to drain bank accounts, max out credit cards, and ruin the credit and reputations of innocent individuals and businesses.
