Free Identity Theft Workshop To Be Held At Doylestown Library

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The Doylestown Branch of Bucks County Free Library will host a free Identity Theft Workshop on April 2 from 6 to 8 p.m.

The workshop will feature expert David Shallcross, an Education & Outreach Specialist from the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General. Shallcross will discuss important topics and trends pertaining to identify theft, according to the library.

According to information provided by the library:

Each year, more than 10 million Americans have their personal information – including their name, social security number, bank account or credit card number – stolen. Often, thieves use this information to open phony credit cards, bank accounts or utilities in the victim’s name. Occasionally, perpetrators will use the victim’s identity to secure benefits such as healthcare or government assistance. This free presentation will give you valuable information that you need in order to protect yourself from identity thieves and scams, identify potential red flags and take corrective actions.

The Identity Theft Workshop is presented as a part of the library's ongoing adult programming initiative. Programming includes historical lectures, financial planning, wellness programs, and other relevant programs of value to the community.

All Bucks County can attend the program. No library card is necessary.

Space is limited. Registration is first come-first served. To reserve a seat, contact Michelle Wexler, Development Director, at (215) 348.0332 x1115 or wexlerm@buckslib.org.
