You assist the director, as she makes presentations to universities throughout the country, as well as at professional conferences, about the dangers and true occurrences of fraud.

The new accounts took the form of credit cards, revolving credit accounts, car loans, school loans, and so forth. You were asked to help because you are an expert in the field.

Do you think identity theft can be controlled? How would you propose to control it or at least slow it down?
