Questions and Answers

1.

- A.
  
  Identity Theft Busters
- B.
  
  Red Flag Rules
- C.
  
  Life Alert
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Red Flag Rules

Explanation
PAR has developed an Identity Theft Prevention Program to comply with new federal regulations, known as the Red Flag Rules, which are designed to prevent consumer identity theft. The Red Flag Rules require financial institutions and creditors to implement policies and procedures to detect, prevent, and mitigate identity theft. These rules aim to protect consumers by identifying and responding to "red flags" or suspicious activities that may indicate potential identity theft. By developing a program that adheres to the Red Flag Rules, PAR is ensuring that it is taking the necessary steps to safeguard consumer information and prevent identity theft.

2.

It is PAR’s responsibility to monitor the Red Flag Rules but we do not have to report any of our findings.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement contradicts itself. It states that it is PAR's responsibility to monitor the Red Flag Rules, but then claims that PAR does not have to report any findings. If it is PAR's responsibility to monitor the rules, it logically follows that they would also have to report any findings. Therefore, the statement is false.

Rate this question:
3.

The existence of a red flag does not necessarily mean that identity theft has occurred or is occurring just that there may be a possibility of identity theft.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because a red flag is an indication or warning sign that identity theft might be possible, but it does not confirm that identity theft has actually occurred. It means that there is a potential risk or suspicion of identity theft, and further investigation or precautionary measures may be necessary to determine if any fraudulent activity has taken place.

Rate this question:
4.

Which of the following are Red Flags that PAR monitors:
- A.
  
  Alerts, notifications or other warnings received from consumer reporting agencies.
- B.
  
  Suspicious documents that you may receive from the dealer.
- C.
  
  Presentation of suspicious personally identifying information.
- D.
  
  Suspicious activity related to or the unusual use of an account.
- E.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
E. All of the above

Explanation
The correct answer is "All of the above". This means that all of the options listed (alerts from consumer reporting agencies, suspicious documents, suspicious personally identifying information, and suspicious activity or unusual use of an account) are considered red flags that PAR monitors. PAR is likely a system or process that is designed to identify and monitor potential risks or fraudulent activities, and it flags these specific indicators as potential red flags for further investigation or action.

Rate this question:
5.

PAR is required to file an annual reporting of our efforts in monitoring and addressing all possible cases of identity theft each year.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement suggests that PAR is required to submit a report annually that outlines their efforts in monitoring and addressing instances of identity theft. This indicates that the organization takes the issue seriously and is actively working towards preventing and managing identity theft cases. Therefore, the answer "True" is correct as it aligns with the information provided in the statement.
