It was said that 8.3 Million Americans alone were victims or Identity Theft. Of all the thieves and scam artists that lurk online just waiting to prey on your information once you put it online. We're talking about passwords, bank account information, addresses, ID's, social security and the like. Are you those type that opens up any type of email? Don't realize that the person you're contacting or maybe chatting with you is a person that might be trying to take your own identity? Imagine that someone living your own life and sucking it out from you? It just doesn't happen in the U.S alone but even third world countries that set the bait or mine trap. That's why it is nothing new that many computer users need to get a hold of internet security software that includes anti-identity protection. Norton Confidential is one or you can find one from Trend Micro, AVG or even from Mcafee. With these programs it helps you put in your information like in stealth mode and it is strictly confidential. Good thing too is that certain websites will support your programs when they are installed. Do you know anyone that has been a victim of identity theft or have you been a victim of it?

this is a very scary crime and probably happens way more than we realize. not only can your information that is on the computer get into their hands, but so can your printed information as well. this is why it is a good thing to either shred or burn anything with personal information on it!

i never know anyone become i victim, but i watch on Dr. Phil, show that someone who use her indentity card even for her medical, she face a case that run away because of the bill in the hospital, but she never deliver the baby, they found out when she want to bring her son in the hospital, in that time the poloce take her & question that she dont know, for me it really worse why yhose people want to have trouble with another person, why they dont like to make their own problem but to take another person, why because they are not strong enpought to face the trouble i thibkmit yes, they cannot face thier own trouble.
