According to the Federal Trade Commission’s estimate, nine million Americans have their identities stolen each year.
It’s a growing problem – a problem that we’re doing our very best to help MCC employees avoid.
ALL EMPLOYEES PLEASE NOTE:
As of June 2, 2008, all inbound e-mail messages that include SS# information will be delivered to the intended recipient. The inbound e-mail will include an appended message that notes the presence of possible personal and private information. This message will advise the e-mail recipient to remove any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in their response.
