Marine Federal Credit Union Sponsors TV ID Theft Segments

The League had its quarterly Risk Management Council meeting last week, and we heard about a really interesting effort underway this month at Marine Federal Credit Union. Marine is sponsoring a series of reports on identity theft to be aired by WCTI-TV, a station in New Bern.

The month-long series of reports will include an interview with Roy Cooper, the State's Attorney General. The station will also share the stories of local ID theft victims.

Marine is really going the extra mile on this effort, however! The credit union is working with the TV station to provide free document shredding for interested viewers. Employees of the credit union will also staff a phone bank from 5:00 to 7:00 pm on February 23rd to answer ID theft questions and offer advice to viewers.

Seems like a great way for Marine to get its name out there over the next month and perhaps just as important, help members and non-members alike with an issue that is much in the news. Way to go!

Until next time!
