[LINK] ID Theft

[stephen at melbpc.org.au]

The US 'Federal Trade Comission - Protecting America's Consumers'
website http://www.ftc.gov displays 1058 references to "id theft" with
some going back to 2002 and earlier, and one recent reference entitled
"FTC Launches Nationwide ID Theft Education Campaign". Important
and useful advice regarding ID Theft is dispensed logically and clearly.

But a search of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission
website http://www.accc.gov.au will currently find 5 Telstra reports, on
another matter, from 2002.  Zero assistance for Australians with a huge
and immediate problem if they are unlucky enough to suffer an ID Theft.
