Identity Theft Protection

Identity theft happens to millions of people every year. Don’t leave yourself unprotected.

The Epidemic of Identity Theft

Year after year, identity theft remains the #1 complaint lodged with the FTC. What was once a rare and little-understood crime is now approaching epidemic levels in this country. An increasingly technology-based society makes identity theft one of the easiest and most lucrative fraudulent crimes. The FTC approximates that close to 10 million Americans will become identity theft victims this year. If you are unfortunate enough to be one of those victims, you will spend an average of 40 hours of your time and $400-$800 of your money trying to reclaim your identity. In the meantime, your credit score will suffer until you can set things right. Clearly, the cost of identity theft is steep.

What Identity Theft Is

The definition of identity theft is ever-expanding because thieves continually devise new ways to breach your privacy and misuse your information. In general, identity theft refers to the unauthorized use of your personal identifying information to commit crimes of fraud. This personal information could include your name, address, social security number, bank account or credit card information, etc. Once an identity thief has this information about you, he/she can do anything from lease a new car to open up credit cards in your name. Some identity thieves have even declared bankruptcy with a stolen identity!
