Retired FBI Special Agent and Identity Theft Expert, Jeff Lanza, Available in Chicago for Media Interviews

WHAT: Jeff Lanza, an FBI Special Agent for over 20 years, will be speaking on two separate occasions in Chicago this week to discuss innovations in fraud and identity theft, and how individuals and businesses can defend themselves from the newest, most invasive threats.
