Identity Theft Resource Center Background

The Identity Theft Resource Center is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to inform customers of the best course of action to prevent identity theft. This group does not have any members but its workers aid anyone that reach out to them for assistance.

According to the 990 form, the ITRC has two main sources of revenue: contributions/grants ($706,850) and program service income ($140,257). Its primary expenses are salaries and employee benefits ($433,830) and it lists a miscellaneous category accounting for $176,196. This information was reported in 2012.

The organization employs twelve people; Eva Velasquez, Rex Davis, and Karen Barney are key employees they hold the titles of CEO, Director of Operations, and Program Director respectively. The salaries of employees are not available.

I think the ITRC can be useful to some customers particularly those who do not have much knowledge with regards to identity theft. There could be a West Coast bias with this company since their headquarters are in San Diego. The website likely would not say what percent of their victims cases they have been successful in it merely states how many clients they have.

Trained counselors are situated at their San Diego command center and can be contacted at 1 (888)-400-5530 from 7:30 to 4:30 Monday to Friday Pacific time. Media inquiries can be directed to Media@idtheftcenter.org.
