During Identity Theft Awareness Week, various organizations and law enforcement agencies are raising awareness about the risks of identity theft and sharing preventive measures. Assistant Attorney General Elsa Clausen highlighted the three most common types of identity theft and their potential impacts. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has also issued warnings to consumers regarding identity theft risks. Additionally, the Better Business Bureau is providing tips for individuals to safeguard against identity theft. In North Carolina, police have alerted the public about a scam involving food workers taking photos of debit and credit cards at drive-through windows. Authorities are advising consumers to be cautious when using their cards in such settings. Furthermore, law enforcement is warning about fraudulent emails and scams utilizing QR codes, which have become increasingly prevalent. These alerts are part of ongoing efforts to educate the public on how to protect themselves from various types of fraud.
