Support ‘National Protect Your Identity Week’!

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency supports it! We here at the Financial Fraud Law blog support it! And we hope you support it, too! 

What is it? It is the fourth annual Protect Your Identity Week (PYIW), an initiative of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) and the Council of Better Business Bureaus (BBB). The week-long initiative takes place next week, October 16 – 22, 2011, and it is aimed at identity theft protection and education.
 
"Consumers must become educated to protect themselves from identity theft. The OCC values its participation in the PYIW coalition and encourages the participation of financial institutions in this effort," said John Walsh, Acting Comptroller of the Currency.
 
Consumers can find PYIW educational events in their area, hosted by local NFCC and BBB members, or other coalition partners, by visiting www.ProtectYourIDNow.org. The Web site is also available in Spanish at www.CuideSuIdentidad.org.
