“But he that filches from me my good name/Robs me of that which not enriches him/And makes me poor indeed.” – Shakespeare, Othello, act iii. Sc. 3.does this sound like something you might have heard before,It came off the
department of justice
site and thats what you read right off the bat,seems identity theft is on the rise and people including myself are getting worried about it,I know that when I get something odd looking on my bank staement and I use online banking I get all shook up inside,its scares me to think that one day I might write a check for mu morgage and it might bounce because someone has stolen my id and spent all my hard earned cash,it can happen,every 3 seconds some one will lose there identity,there are way to protect yourself from this happening,reading and research is one of the best ways,but if you are like me,thats just not what I want to do,so I have done some reading for you and posted some links to more great sites with all the right information you will need to get that peace of mind you are looking for,here is one right here’

I am not affiliated with this site or the other site listed here,just government sites to get you on the right track and safe from the theives
Some people are thinking they are safe because they never post there credit card info online,your dreaming,your information is everywhere,even if you do not have a credit card,read the sites,they will tell you theives will get your trash or dig in dumpsters to get your identity from anything you throw away.even your phone number will get alot of information about you,try looking your your number on yahoo,a phone search,most likely you will get your address and full name and so on,and thats just for a simple look up,there are more sufisticated ways of looking up information,there are people in stores and resturants selling your credit card info,people are mean and greedy,and with the economy like it is,it might get worse,so you really need to caught up to date with all that is going on around you,its ok not to trust people,I know I dont feel really safe like I did some years ago,another really great way to get info from someone is a trick called phishing,and its really tricky if you don’t know what to look for,you get emails spoofing ebay or paypal or any company online asking you to update your account,thats where it gets tricky,you are redirected to there site,not the real site and you update your information,it is then stored in there data base,your doomed after that,it will be sold or used,either way,the days after will be hard on your nerves,it normally takes 200 hours to recover from id theft,thats alot of wasted time,you will have to notifiy everyone of the credit card companies and banks you have accounts with,walmart card,kmart card,anyone you have an account with,its a pain in the butt,anyway,I can go on for days but you really need to do the reading from the sites I listed here at the top,they are the real deal,like I said,I have no affiliation with the sites,I make no money from them and get nothing from this ad or hub,other then letting you guys know the real deal on identity theft,seems there is some myth surrounding this matter,I just wanted to clarifiy it for you,thanks for reading,
