Qwest addresses ID Theft

As mentioned in this blog before, young adults between the ages of 18-29 are most likely to be targeted for identity theft. Qwest, in their effort to raise awareness about identity theft, hired an individual who knows personally that this statistic is true. Zach Friesen of Denver, Colo., was actually first a victim of identity theft at age 7, though he didn't know about it until he tried to get his first job at 17. After seeing Friesen lobbying the Colorado State Legislature on the issue of identity theft, Qwest executives chose to hire Friesen to speak to high school kids about the dangers of identity theft.
