Dear Community Partner:

Consumer Action has just released a short video on tax-related identity theft featuring presenters from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The video release coincides with the start of the FTC's Identity Theft Awareness Week and lands just in time for tax-filing season. Rosario Mendez, an attorney with the Division of Consumer and Business Education at the FTC, is our guest speaker for the English version of the video, while Gema de las Heras, a Consumer Education Specialist in the same division, presents during the Spanish version.

Check out the Tax Identity Theft: Protecting yourself from fraudsters at tax time videos, in either English or Spanish, to learn how consumers can stay safe from identity thieves during tax season and what steps to take if they fall victim. Please share this message with your client communities.

Please also remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel for free using this link.

If you have questions about the videos, please send them to [email protected]. 
 

Sincerely,

Linda Williams
