Are You A victim? (397 hits)



You Should Know:

* Each year it happens to countless victims who innocently give their credit cards to servers in restaurants.

* Even if you are cautious when making an ATM transaction, identity thieves can be watching you type in your PIN or rig a bank machine to copy your bank card.

* Shredding may not be enough to keep dumpster divers from finding copies of your checks, credit card statements and other personal paperwork that leads to identity theft.

* It’s not just online purchases that are vulnerable to identity theft. In fact, online transactions are a small majority of identity fraud cases.

You should know that identity theft happens every day to people from all walks of life. What can you do to combat this crime? The Identity Theft ShieldSM provides a suite of service designed with detection and restoration in mind.

Hi Cynthia,
Thanks for your comment. There is more to the crime than just finances. We are all at risk, especially online.

That's really scary. My heart goes out to this young lady because she sounds so helpless and vunerable. I wonder if getting an attorney would help her to sort of this problem.

I try to use only secure sites who use pay pal to buy online, but also I am going to start paying with cash when I go to restaurants and stores. It's sad because I like using my credit card to have a record of my purchases because keeping tract of the many receipts can be annoying.
