Every year, millions of Americans are subject to identity theft. In 2020 alone, the FTC handled 2.2 million fraud reports. This course will provide an informative overview of human trafficking, elder scams, and identity theft crimes - how they are committed, how they can be recognized, and how they can be prevented.
