National Consumer Protection Week to Present "Your Information Destination"

It's that time of year --- "National Consumer Protection Week" --- March 6 -12, 2011.

USPS and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service will join the Federal Trade Commission and other local, state and federal consumer protection agencies to help educate consumers about identity theft and fraudulent schemes, and provide them with the information and resources to help combat these frauds.

This year’s NCPW theme—“Your Information Destination”—highlights the education materials available on the website http://www.ncpw.gov/ launched in December 2010 by the FTC. Other Consumer Protection Week partners are promoting free resources to help people protect their privacy, manage money and debt,avoid identity theft, understand credit and mortgages, and steer clear of frauds and scams.
