Wow, found the best resource for information about how to avoid identity theft and what to do if you are a victim.

Federal Reserve Bank of Boston has both a short, 13 minute video and a PDF file available at: http://www.bostonfed.org/consumer/identity/video.htm

Since I learn by writing and taking notes to audio presentations, I took 3 pages of notes just in watching the 13 minute presentation. Gee, I wish I had done this in college courses - perhaps I would have had a greater GPA!.

After watching the video, I found additional information in the PDF file so make sure you look at both!
