On-Line Resource On Identity Theft and Identity Fraud Now Available

Identify theft and related identity fraud have become an epidemic in the United States due to technological advances and the increasingly accessibility of information.   The Internet is one of the major contributors to this problem and even the non-tech savvy individuals are able to commit the crime.  To educate the public, the U.S. Department of Justice has established an Internet website to provide information on identity theft and related identity fraud.  The site provides information about identity theft and how it is commonly committed as well as information about what to do if you think you may be a victim.  Also, it provides helpful tips on how to avoid becoming a victim.  For more information, visit  http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/fraud/websites/idtheft.html
