As I watch t.v., I have to admit I am completely amazed at how many commercials there are for products/services to help keep individuals from getting their identities stolen.
I know one person who has had his identity stolen. I admit it is a pain-risk of credit damage, lost of time and money as well as resources-are all detrimental to individuals.
I have completely mastered this! Believe me, I do all the wrong things when it comes to protecting my identity. Let us look at all I do in an effort to have my identity stolen:
· I use the same password no matter what account I am using.
· I use a family members name as my password.
· I shop online a lot.
· I have thrown mail away before without shredding it.
· I leave my wallet in the car the majority of the time.
· I am very trusting when it comes to telling personal information.
· I sign up for free newsletters online to get free stuff.
As you can see, I am a prime candidate for identity theft. However, I have never had it happened. Some might say it is pure luck. I say it is no one wants my identity.
Who would want a pile of student loan debt? Who would want a life with no retirement savings? Who would want no savings?
My advice for those who don’t want their identity theft stolen is to get a life that isn’t worth stealing. That is all you have to do and the good news is that it is all free! No charge at all for this advice I give and anyone can qualify. So get working today to protect your identity!
