What is Identity Theft?

What Is The CITU?

The CITU, or Counter Identity Theft Unit, was started in order to educate consumers about identity theft and the potential damage that can occur from identity theft as well as to provide helpful solutions for protecting yourself from the turmoil of identity theft.

It is becoming more important to take a proactive approach to protecting your personal information, both offline and online. CITU will provide you with the information necessary to help you set up the strongest line of defense between your identity and potential thieves.

CITU Identity Theft Expert Robert Siciliano

Robert Siciliano is an identity theft expert who is fiercely committed to informing, educating and empowering Americans so they can be protected from violence and crime in the physical and virtual worlds. He began helping people protect their identities after his small business received its first fraudulent credit card. In the late 90’s he witnessed the exploding growth of identity theft fueled by Internet access to information, the speed of technology outpacing security, and a fundamentally flawed system of identification. For over 20 years Robert has been researching and keeping in tune with all aspects of security by staying on top of what is new and ahead of what is next at all times. His purpose is to inform and educate you so you can avoid becoming a statistic. He says, "There always has been, there is now and there will always be a criminal predatory element stalking their next victim. Being proactive and knowing your options are essential."
