We Need Your Video and Audio Media ! Scams and Fraud can be initimidating and confusing. We need some help along the way to appreciate and understand our vulnerabilities and risks from such approaches. What better way to do this than to submit and discuss any cool media that tells us all about it? Then, we only need to sit back and watch and learn. Or listen and learn, depending on the media we find. Let's all submit posts with links to cool videos and audio announcements or discussions that talk about scams and fraud. I will start by posting the ones I already know about, and we can post new ones as we find them in the future. Suggested sources include the news, government and not-for-profit webcasts, webinars, podcasts, Youtube video, even movies and public service announcements that describe what we need to be looking out for. If it relates to scamming and defrauding people in some way, then it may be good to post here! The advantage to multimedia such as video, audio, and podcasts or webinars is that we do not have to tire ourselves out reading a lot of text to learn anything. We can simply absorb the content being discussed or shown to us without wasting a lot of energy. And by having all the media posted in one discussion topic, it will be super easy to find!

For Your Information: 04/08/2013 Federal Trade Commission Posts New Video to Help Identity Theft Victims http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2013/04/idtheft.shtm If you’re a victim of identity theft or know someone who is, the Federal Trade Commission has a new video designed to help facilitators who assist consumers in repairing their identity. Helping Victims of Identity Theft is the latest addition to the FTC’s library of resources that explain not only how to recognize identity theft, but also how to report it and repair the damage it can cause. The FTC gets more complaints about identity theft each year than any other consumer issue, and estimates that nine million consumers become identity theft victims each year. The video promotes the Guide for Assisting Identity Theft Victims, a tool for advocates, social workers, attorneys, and others who work to help resolve the issues identity theft causes. The Guide is a complement to the do-it-yourself instructions in Taking Charge: What To Do if Your Identity is Stolen. The agency distributed more than two million publications just about identity theft in 2012 alone. Check out the video, and fight back against identity theft. The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC's online Complaint Assistant or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). The FTC enters complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to more than 2,000 civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad. The FTC’s website provides free information on a variety of consumer topics. Like the FTC on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and subscribe to press releases for the latest FTC news and resources.

For Your Information: 04/10/2013 FTC Video Helps Funeral Providers Comply with the Funeral Rule http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2013/04/funeralrule.shtm The Federal Trade Commission has released a new video to help businesses that sell funeral goods and services comply with the Funeral Rule. The Rule applies to licensed funeral directors and funeral homes, as well as to cemeteries, crematories, and other businesses that sell both funeral goods and services. It does not apply to third-party sellers, like casket or monument dealers, or cemeteries that do not have a funeral home on-site. The Funeral Rule establishes some basic requirements that help to ensure that people have the information they need to compare prices and buy only the funeral services and goods they want. If your business is covered by the Funeral Rule, watch the video to learn about the major provisions of the Rule and how you can comply. For more information visit the FTC’s funeral industry web page.
