Any of us - young or old, rich or poor, online or offline can be part of the estimated 700,000 (and growing)
people that will suffer identity theft. Sadly, those individuals in our society that DON'T monitor their credit
are the most likely to get taken.
Monitoring your credit protects your good name - and should anything happen Identity Theft Protection
kicks in to restore your life.
The emotional impact of identity theft has been found to parallel that of victims of violent crime.
Approximately 9.3 million Americans have been victims of identity theft over the past 12 months. This crime of fraud is the fastest growing white collar crime in our society. There is no specific type of person that is a victim of this crime. It literally can happen to anybody at anytime.
Recovering from identity theft takes the average person 600 hours of blood, sweat, and tears. Not to mention paying on average $3,000 in fees and related costs to clear up the problems caused by stolen identities.
41% of people with stolen identities are still trying to restore their credit, good names, and lives after 2 years. A little precaution goes a long way - and can be an absolute life saver.
First step is to begin monitoring your credit. Thieves are most interested in your credit - that is how they can obtain credit cards, rent apartments, buy cars, and otherwise get rich off of you. All these activities require credit inquiries and a monitoring service alerts you to these inquiries and changes so you can alert authorities and stop unauthorized activity before fraud can take over your life.
You have invested in your good name. You have goals and financial objectives. Be smart and don't risk your newly minted good credit to common thieves.
