Snow launched a DVD from the Federal Trade Commission, Departments of Justice and Defense, the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the American Bankers Association, National Association of Federal Credit Unions, the Consumer Data Industry Association, and the Florida Bankers Association. The DVD provides consumers with information on how to recognize identity theft, how they can protect themselves, and what they should do if they become a victim.
