The Threat Is Real, Don’t Ignore Protection Against Identity Theft

Ryan Beal — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 21:41:19 +0000

Over the years, protection against identity theft has changed with the times since the moment two human beings first made eye contact. In the distant past, identity theft amounted to dressing in disguise. These days, criminals have become smarter and have begun to use technology to their advantage to secure the life savings of hard working citizens.

The Internet has changed the face of crime, and it’s now altered identity theft as well. The result is pretty much the same as before, for all of today’s technological advances: finances, credit cards, banking accounts and loans are open season. If you don’t take matters into your own hands, you could end up with a boat load of debt, and possibly even worse if you don’t catch it early enough.

A Huge Waste Of Time

That being said, even if you do catch identity theft at the earliest possible stage, you’re still not going to get off free. By freezing your bank account you can block money from being taken out and at least you won’t lose anything, but there’s still some bad news.

If you’ve frozen your account, the bank will be unable to allow you access to your money for several days. You’ll also have to change your account numbers to prevent others from using that information against you. And even though you’ve only lost time, there is a massive amount of stress and frustration that comes from identity theft that can cause sleepless nights and depression.

Small Charges Made To Your Accounts

When protection against identity theft fails, most people experience this category of offense. Their bank accounts and credit cards are compromised, and a selection of seemingly random transactions appear on their statements. The bank will probably be able to determine which are authentic and which aren’t, but you’ll still have to go through the trouble of having to change your numbers. Even then, you’re probably going to be getting letters that your accounts are experiencing suspicious activity.

This causes millions of victims to hurt every year, and hundreds of thousands of dollars to be lost in the process.

Major Financial Disaster And Lending

The last few categories might have seemed frustrating and worrisome, but they are nothing when compared to this or the next stage. Criminals can look up all your bank numbers and use them before you even know what hit you. It’s not unheard of for criminals to take out a loan. This disappointing result causes permanent trouble that can damage your credit score.

Even if it wasn’t really you doing the loaning, you’ll still be held accountable and once your credit score is damaged, it stays damaged because your account is still unreliable.

Illegality

As bad as the others were, this is by far the worst. If criminals pretend to be you physically instead of simply hacking your accounts online. Thieves sometimes finance illegal immigrant operations, run drugs, and even add fake additions to your medical records that can affect your doctor’s ability to treat you. This is more than just simple theft, because this type of personal invasion affects you as a person and your status as a law abiding citizen.

If your identity is stolen in spite of any protection against identity theft you may have, make sure to take care of it as quickly as possible. Protect yourself, use the Internet safely and be careful in the real world.

Obtain protection against identity theft today by selecting one of the many services available online to prevent these types of crimes. Make credit card fraud protection a high priority from an online site today and ensure your savings and your loved ones are safe without concerning yourself with ID fraudsters.

Identity Theft Prevention – Simple Ways To Protect Your Information

Jake M. Black — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:49:01 +0000

Identity theft prevention can be easily accomplished and you can effectively protect your personal and financial information. There are many avenues for individuals to obtain your personal information and with the popularity of the internet you must even more wary of providing personal information. Identity theft can damage your finances and make life very difficult for many years.

The most popular stolen information is social security numbers, phone calling cards, debit card information and credit card information. Criminals still use the old trided and true method of going through trash to collect documents that contain your personal information. However those with a lot of experience with computers can hack their way into your system to obtain your information.

A very important step for identity theft prevention is to destroy all of your personal documents before you throw them out. Tearing up or shredding your documents is a way of ensuring that no one can access your information.

Your social security card should always be kept in a safe place that is fireproof and waterproof. A bank box and small safe are best. You only get one social security card and if someone should get yours then they can do almost anything in your name. You also want to eliminate a paper trail so try to stop getting receipts at ATMS or if you do have receipts make sure you destroy them.

Always keep your credit cards on you and don’t let it out of your sight. If possible pay with cash when you can as any time you take your card out is the opportunity for someone to steal your number. Also make sure you know who is asking for your private and personal information. If someone calls from a bank make sure that their request is legitimate. If necessary you can contact the company yourself to ensure that they have requested that information.

You also want to keep track of your information by monitoring your credit report. You can receive a free credit report each year for free and you should look for suspicious information. You also should review your credit card statements each month and make sure you keep track of your purchases.
