Identity Theft Workshops

Lazy chair, can of beer, disheveled man, perky valley-girl voice ... we’ve all seen the commercial where he shares how “she” just made a major leather purchase with “his” credit card! Although we laugh, the commercial also alerts us to the growing and very serious problem of identity theft!

The question is, “Will YOU be the next victim?” You do not have to be! You can educate and protect yourself by calling the University of Illinois Extension Office in Morrison to register for one of the following Identity Theft workshops: Wednesday, October 5 from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the Whiteside County Senior Center in Sterling, or Tuesday, October 11 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the Henry Adams Memorial Library in Prophetstown.

There is no cost for the workshop, but pre-registration is required two business days before the event and space is limited so do not delay. Call 815-772-4075 to register. You do not want to be its next victim!
