Description
Identity theft is a crime that is becoming more and more common these days and affects everyone from the rich to the middle class to the poor. To steal a person’s identity, criminals need just one thing to get started – your social security number. Believe it or not, it’s actually quite easy for them to get it, too!
It can be frightening to think that someone is out there using your name to commit crime. That crime could include purchasing goods in your name with you being liable for the bill. It could also be as serious as the criminal giving your name as theirs when they are arrested making you the subject of criminal charges.
Sounds pretty scary, doesn’t it? What’s even scarier is that YOU may be helping those criminals in ways you never even thought about.
Anyone can become a victim. For example, do you:
- Hand your credit card to servers at restaurants?
- Not sign the back of your credit or debit card?
- Supply personal information over the internet?
- Leave mail at your home or business for the postal carrier to collect?
- Just throw away unwanted mail containing personal information?
If you do any of these things, YOU can become a victim of identity theft. Would you know what to do if that happened? Do you have a plan? Do you even know where to begin?
Over 10 million Americans are affected annually by identity theft. That’s a staggering statistic! Sometimes these criminals are never caught. When they are, it’s because the victim is vigilant about clearing their name and getting their identity back! …And you need to be vigilant too!
After all, one’s identity doesn’t form overnight. You work hard to pay your bills on time, build up a good credit rating and maintain a good name for yourself. Don’t let it disappear overnight at the hands of a thief.
