W.Va. Attorney General warns college students of identity theft dangers

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WHSV) — As students head back to school this fall, West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey is working to educate students about the identity theft dangers that go along with college education.

Morrisey urges college students to be cautious as they head back to school. A new year brings many exciting opportunities for students, but they can all be overshadowed by identity theft.

“College is an amazing time for new experiences,” Attorney General Morrisey said. “You must make sure that you take the right precautions against fraud and identity theft. It can be very harmful to your financial future.”
