Identity theft

I don't carry a wallet, because I'm prone to losing them, and learned the hard way what people can know about you from a lost wallet (nodding). It's scary how we have all become a bunch of numbers in a system somewhere.

Wow. If someone stole my purse they would get lots of things. I have mine and all my kids S.S. cards in there, my drivers lisence, my debit card, and check book. There is lots of info in there that I guess I never thought about. Maybe I better be making some changes in my purse.

You cannot stop a person from stealing your identity, which is the scary part. These thieves are hard to catch, so they just go about their business. I am an identity theft expert. I am an associate with a company who offers identity theft shield. Now a days you see a lot out there, but what is unique about ours is that we not only monitor your identity, but we are the only company who will restore it if (actually when ) it does get stolen. I have met a lot of people who have this service, inlcuding myself, because of that fear. I feel better with the service. If you had to restore your identity by yourself, it would take you over 600 hours. Amazing! I am attaching the link that can give you just a little mroe information. If this is something that may interest you, check it out and feel free to ask me any questions. If not, I wish you good luck! www.prepaidlegal.com/hub/stacigillen

There are ways to at least help protect yourself against identity theft besides keeping your wallet safe. So many times I see people do things without thinking about it. Any time you fill out an application, especially in real life, anyone can see it and copy from it. This includes not only for a job but also to rent videos, to get a credit card etc. I know many places ask you for your social security card number and people will just rattle it off and others will do it back loud enough for anyone to hear. All it takes is one person to hear it and they could have it. You have to remember to keep things where people can't see them or hear them. It doesn't take much for them to be able to access your information.
