Identity Theft Resource Center | A Nonprofit Organization
Welcome to the Identity Theft Resource Center, a national nonprofit organization that focuses exclusively on identity theft. ITRC was founded in December 1999 by Linda and Jay Foley. While its national office is based in San Diego, CA, ITRC has representatives working with its program throughout the United States.
The seed of ITRC was planted in 1997 when Linda's then employer used the information on her tax forms to get credit cards and a cell phone. At that time, there was little information for victims to use and no network of people with whom to talk. At first, Linda volunteered with another program that had done some work in victim assistance for this crime. Very quickly, however, it became apparent that a specialized program was needed, focusing on victim assistance and serving as a clearinghouse of information.
From the beginning, it was clear that ITRC was needed and would serve a vital role in the battle against this crime. It has received numerous accolades for its work by victims, law enforcement, businesses, legislators and governmental officials.
