Consumer Video Materials for Credit Unions
The New York Credit Union Foundation is working with credit unions across the state to increase consumer awareness about identity theft.
The campaign educates New Yorkers about how to be safe and protect themselves from becoming victims of fraudulent activity through public service announcements and educational videos.
A series of five, 15-second public service announcements, available in English and Spanish, feature Assembly Minority Leader James N. Tedisco (R-District 110) and Assemblyman Peter M. Rivera (D-District 76), respectively. The PSAs aired on NYS television stations in the fall of 2008.
PSA 1 How Personal Information is Obtained
PSA 2 Impact on Victims
PSA 3 How to Minimize Risk
PSA 4 Credit Reports
PSA 5 When You’re a Victim
The educational videos are available in two formats on a single DVD (DVDs are available in either English or Spanish language versions):
- A series of five 2-3 minute educational video segments with separate introduction and close, or
- One, 15-minute looping video that includes an introduction from either Assemblyman Tedisco (English language) or Assemblyman Rivera (Spanish language), all five 2-3 minute video segments and closing remarks by Mindy Bockstein, chairperson and executive director of the NYS Consumer Protection Board.
Topics of the five 2-3 minute educational video segments are expanded versions of the PSA topics:
How Personal Information is Obtained
Impact on Victims
How to Minimize Risk
Credit Reports
When You’re a Victim
Closing remarks by Mindy Bockstein
