My Home About Me

The National Crime Prevention Council, best known for the trench-clad McGruff, has launched a new campaign to educate consumers about identity theft. The program is called "Keep your identity to yourself" and includes a dramatic public service announcement. Click on the image below to watch identity thieves in action and hear McGruff&39;s tips:  The campaign also focuses on the statistic that 53% of identity theft crimes are committed by someone you know. However, McGruff doesn&39;t really get in to the details of what to do in the event that your cousin turns out to be a "crook." There are also a few details included in their identity theft brochure that are troublesome; including the advice to close all credit card accounts you haven&39;t used for six months (which can cause major credit score damage) and the use of camera phones to steal credit card data (I&39;m not convinced that actually works). What do you think about McGruff&39;s new campaign? Watch the PSA and share your feedback in the comments section below.
