Oregon is ranked #20 in identity theft crime (which is actually much better than we used to be - we used to be #7).
Most people don't even know it's happened until something big happens. I.D. theft is also linked to meth use, which is part of the reason we are ranked this high.
Diane Childs from the Department of Consumer and Business Services was here for the Build Your Business seminar this morning to talk about the new I.D. theft laws that will be coming into effect in January.
