Identity Theft Training Course

Identity theft involves criminals obtaining and misusing someone's personal data to commit fraud. It can happen to anyone, including your employees, suppliers and customers.

This type of fraud makes up most of all fraud recorded on the National Fraud Database. One of the main reasons for this is the availability of large quantities of personal details online.

Our Identify Theft Training Course will help your employees prevent this crime by understanding how it works and what to do if they spot the tell-tale signs.
