By Kyeland Jackson —
Dozens of faculty attended a seminar April 19 detailing identity theft and how to prevent it. The seminar comes weeks after U of L revealed over 70 university employees’ information was stolen and used for fraudulent tax returns and over 750 more employees’ accounts were possibly affected.
Thomas Keefe, a financial management consultant with a doctorate in human resources, led the seminar. Keefe said most scammers contact victims through phone and email, financially draining employees and their employers.
