You watch every penny you spend. You’re taking the right steps towards financial freedom. But did you know that even the most financially-savvy among us can become a victim of identity theft?
The nonprofit organization, National Foundation for Credit Counseling, wants to remind you that National Protect Your Identity Week is fast approaching. And now more than ever it is so important to protect ourselves and our families from theft and invasion.
Did you know that last year alone, nearly 10 million Americans were victims of identity theft, making this the fastest growing crime in
America? Everyday we may be putting ourselves and our families at risk by simply writing a check, using a credit card or even our ATM cards. The best protection against such identity theft is education. By visiting www.ProtectYourIDNow.org, you can take a quiz and assess your risk of ID theft and learn helpful tips to keep you and your family safe. Since this crime is not going anywhere, it’s really time for us to fight back!
National Protect Your Identity Week, a program brought to you by NFCC and Council of Better Business Bureaus, is October 17-24.
Please join the fight by visiting www.ProtectYourIDNow.org today, where you can get involved in National Protect Your Identity Week events and learn important tips.
Also be sure to visit NFCC on Facebook and on Twitter for all the latest updates.

PortlandMint.com is leading the way in copper penny investing. We are the first company of its kind to sell copper pennies to investors. We also are the only company to offer a storage option for copper penny investments.
All pennies minted in the United States prior to and during the first part of 1982 were composed of 95% copper and 5% zinc. After 1982 the composition of pennies was changed to 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. Due to the rising cost of copper, the copper penny is now worth almost double its face value.
Copper pennies are the most inexpensive form of copper bullion available. Pennies are viewed as a good investment choice by many metal investors. Pennies are a low risk investment because they always have a floor price, since the penny will be worth, at the very least, one penny. With ease of recognition and guaranteed purity, pennies are a great form of a copper bullion investment.
PortlandMint.com’s storage option for the 1 ton lots is perfect for the person who wants to own a position in real copper, but not have to deal with transportation or storage issues. This option is also 100% insured through the Lloyd’s of London. Not only is the copper insured it is also stored in a coin vault at an armored car facility.
Unlike ETF’s or other companies when you buy from PortlandMint.com you will be getting a product that is 100% real and fully backed. ETFs and other companies may only have a small percantage of their product on hand. This is important because if a small percentage of customers want to take possession of their investment, there will not be enough for everyone. With this company you will know that you will never have to worry about if you can actually get your copper or not.

In the last 12 months, many Americans have become painfully aware of how they and the companies they work for are dependent upon the nation’s banks and financial institutions. In the last year, we have seen some of the largest financial institutions in the country face bankruptcy or other financial hardship. Many institutions have seen major shakeups, significant modifications to financial product lines and an increasingly complex regulatory environment.
For this reason, the American Consumer News, LLC Network is announcing the launch of its newest publication, American Banking News. This new publication will cover the banking industry in fine detail. Specifically, American Banking News will cover which financial institutions are performing well, how regulations are changing in the financial industry, and what steps consumers need to take to make sure that they are well protected, even if their financial institution is in trouble.
