    Assemblymember Krekorian Hosts
    Two Identity Theft Prevention Workshops



    Glendale-Calling identity theft "an increasing, pernicious assault on
    financial privacy and security," Assemblymember Paul Krekorian
    (D-Burbank) announced he will host two preventative workshops in his
    district that are designed to help constituents protect themselves from
    the effects of this crime.



    "Identity theft is one of our fastest-growing crimes," Assemblymember
    Krekorian said. "Unfortunately it is likely that many of us know someone
    who has been victimized. Identity protection begins with informed,
    aware consumers, and these workshops will explain how to reduce
    vulnerability to theft and what to do if you become a victim."



    The first workshop is set for 7:00 - 8:30 p.m., Thursday, March 27, at
    the Glendale Police Department Community Room, 131 N. Isabel Avenue,
    Glendale. The second runs from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m., Thursday, April 17, at
    the Buena Vista Library Meeting Room, 300 N. Buena Vista Street,
    Burbank.



    "I urge all to attend and learn how to fight the potentially ruinous
    effects of identity theft," Assemblymember Krekorian said. "Local law
    enforcement, state and county identity-theft specialists, will explain
    how to avoid being a victim, how fraud happens, some of the various
    scams now in use, and what to do if you are victimized."



    The Glendale workshop is being co-hosted by the Glendale Police
    Department and the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer Affairs,
    and the Burbank event by the Burbank Police Department and the
    California Office of Privacy Protection.



    "I very much hope that as many people as possible will take advantage of
    these timely and important workshops," Assemblymember Krekorian said.
    For further information, please call Assemblymember Krekorian's Glendale
    District Service Office at 818/240-6330.



    Assemblymember Paul Krekorian (D-Burbank) represents the cities of
    Burbank and Glendale, and the Los Angeles communities of Atwater
    Village, Los Feliz, North Hollywood, Silver Lake, Toluca Lake, Valley
    Glen, Valley Village and Van Nuys.
