MA Secretary of State’s expert in ID Theft and Insurance Fraud to present at Fairview Commons - November 28, 2007
Fairview Commons Nursing and Rehabilitation Center will host a free presentation, “Investment Fraud and Identity Theft” by the Commonwealth’s foremost expert in the field, attorney Anthony M. Drenzek of the Secretary of State’s Securities Division. This educational seminar will begin at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 28th at Fairview Commons, 151 Christian Hill Road, Great Barrington. Registration begins at 2:00 p.m.
Topics will include descriptions of several recent enforcement actions into investment fraud schemes and ways to be protected from several types of fraud and identity theft.
“This is an important educational presentation that will arm you with information you need to avoid becoming a victim,” said Fairview Commons Administrator Patricia Janchuk. “With new technology continuing to evolve and more and more of our information being handled electronically, we all need to be aware of what we can do to protect ourselves.”
Studies suggest that ID theft is on the rise and, according to recently released research by the Identity Theft Research Center, most ID theft is perpetrated by friend and relatives of the victim. Meanwhile, the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud reports that insurance fraud is responsible for $80 billion in annual waste, for abuse in the areas of workers compensation, home insurance, health care and more. |
