June Joint Meeting
The June Joint Meeting annually brings together the following professional organizations:
APICS, ASQ, CSCMS, and ISM

Identity Theft

FTC.gov says, “Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personally identifying information, like your name, Social Security number, or credit card number, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes.” This is a benign definition for one of the most terrifying white collar crimes in modern times. One can’t turn on the television without being bombarded with offers for free credit reports, identity theft insurance, etc. It doesn’t take much research to discover a company founder for one of these products was the victim of identity theft after he started hawking his company’s product on TV.

Estimates on the FTC website say that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. The odds are that someone you know has experienced some form of identity theft. Identity theft crimes may involve thieves renting an apartment, or obtaining a credit card, or establishing a telephone account in your name. The theft may not be known to you until you review a credit card statement, get a call from a debt collector, or are denied credit on a legitimate application.

Sgt. Kevin Cavanaugh of the St. Louis County Police Department will present a program on credit card fraud and how individuals can protect themselves. His presentation will also touch on internet auction fraud (Craigslist, and Ebay) and the latest scams being perpetrated in the St. Louis area.

Date:	Tuesday, June 16, 2009
Time:	5:45 p.m -. 6:15 p.m. Registration
	6:15 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Dinner
	7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Program
Location:	Sheraton Inn Westport-Lakeside Chalet

Sgt. Kevin Cavanaugh has 25 years of experience with the St. Louis County Police Department. He has served nine years as an investigator in the fraud unit and seven years as that unit’s supervisor. Sgt. Cavanaugh has spoken on the subject of identity theft to many community organizations.
