The Treasury
Department launched "Identity Theft: Outsmarting the Crooks," a DVD
that provides consumers with information on how to recognize identity
theft, how to protect themselves, and what they should do if they
become a victim. The DVD features experts from the government and the
private sector reporting on the scope of the identity theft problem and
how a few simple steps can significantly increase protection. The DVD
also includes resources that can be downloaded to your personal
computer, including sample forms and letters that victims can use in
reporting the crime and collecting evidence. You can obtain the DVD
from the Federal Citizen Information Center in Pueblo, Colorado, for a
$2 handling charge. For information about ordering the DVD, contact the
Treasury Department, toll free,
at 1-888-8 PUEBLO (1-888-878-3256).
