Identity theft prevention by Credit Freeze | www.IdentityTheft.info

The credit bureaus are keeping quiet about the best identity theft prevention option, the Credit Freeze. They apparently dont want you to know about the credit freeze (aka Security Freeze) because once your credit is frozen they can not sell your personal credit information to numerous marketers. We want you to know about this little known secret and ask that you share it with your friends and family; the most effective personal option for identity theft prevention is the credit freeze, period. A credit freeze is a more effective method of identity theft prevention than a fraud alert (what Lifelock and others sell) because with a fraud alert, creditors still have access to your credit file and often ignore the alert and grant credit anyway! So both methods are aimed at stopping identity thieves from obtaining new credit lines in your name but the credit freeze is a much more potent protection for consumers concerned with identity theft prevention. Because the credit freeze is only obtainable directly from the credit bureaus (and they dont want you to know about it) there is very low public awareness about this identity theft prevention option. It is easy to learn how you can freeze and unfreeze your credit at the three major credit bureaus through the use of a credit freeze. We show you how, step by step in this video. Please visit www.IdentityTheft.info, for more information about a security credit freeze and identity theft prevention. Identity theft affects fifteen …

Lionheart Assurance Scam Prevention Toolkit: How to Avoid Phishing And Spoofing Scams

Learning how to avoid phishing/spoofing scams is one of the major concerns of Net users. Many criminals have used the World Wide Web to ripoff people; especially those who are just starting to get familiar with cyberspace. In fact, the Federal Trade Commission, FBI and Earthlink are warning Web users to be more cautious in using the Internet because there are many online crooks that are using spoofing or phishing tools, which require sending email that is disguised as a company or bank correspondence in order to get recipient’s identity. Below are some of the things you could do to prevent falling into the trap cast by online scams or rip-off artists operating on the Web.

The first step that you need to be aware of on how to avoid phishing/spoofing scams is to be vigilant. If you receive e-mails asking you to verify information, give card numbers, or provide personal data, such as social security number, you should be suspicious. Banks, credit card companies and other financial institutions would not send emails like these. When you read such emails, you should contact your bank and credit card or other financial institutions to verify their request. You should also see and make a note of the web address found in the header of the suspicious e-mails. Big legitimate companies usually use . com, . net or . org and would be fairly easy to identify.

One of the best strategies to avoid phishing/spoofing scams is to ignore the email. Do not reply nor download any attachment without first taking the time to discern whether it is legitimate or not. The email may contain malware that might be used to fish passwords and other information that con artists can use to defraud you. It is also important that you consult with your spouse before providing any personal information about them via the Internet.

Emails sent by these scam artists and crooks can almost look real so you really have to be careful. If you suspect that an email you received is a scam, immediately report the matter to your ISP. Lastly, children and teens are also becoming targets of these online crooks. For this reason, it is essential that you also teach your children how to avoid phishing/spoofing scams so that they can be protected as well.

Lionheart Assurance Scam Prevention Toolkit: How To Safely Transact Business On Craigslist

The Internet in general (and Craigslist in particular) are places where people go for good deals and less expensive goods. Craigslist is one of the most authentic places to buy and sell things and even to find a job. It is also a good place to meet people, and most people have a positive experience. Keep in mind, though, that where there are so many people in one venue there is always the likelihood that you will stumble upon a few bad apples. There are a few things that you can do to be safe from Internet scams and the fraudsters and ripoff artists that lurk on Craigslist. First of all, try to limit your transactions locally. There are lots of promotional listings available from remote places, like Nigeria. It is always better to leave them alone and concentrate on people who you can easily trace and meet face to face. Always beware of anyone providing you with more than you ask for. No matter where you live, most buyers are bargain shoppers. So if you come across people wanting to give you more than you have asked for, you can rest assured that they are frauds and you should always avoid them. Poor English in the promotional materials or ads can be another indication of an unreliable seller. Most reputable sellers are meticulous in writing their promotional messages, and very few legitimate listings will have grammatical errors. For this reason, a good rule of thumb is to completely avoid ads with grammatical errors. Under no circumstances should you ever provide your personal information such as your social security number, bank account numbers, credit or debit card numbers, information about where you work, your other family members’ names or other personal details. This sensitive information can be collected by fraudsters who can then use it for a financial rip-off scheme and/or an identity theft scam. Craigslist does provide an excellent avenue for locally advertising your business, your professional services and any personal items you may wish to sell. Before you transact any business, just be sure you have been prudent and have taken all appropriate security precautions.
