NO. I had excellent credit until some recent medical problems several years ago, I ordered lunch from a sub shop which shall remain nameless and gave a credit card for delivery. Next thing I know, the card is being used all over town.
I was not held liable for the charges but I am careful about who gets my personal information and I review cellphone bills--with 4 phones in 3 metropolitan areas on one account, I never know what to expect. Just keep your eyes & ears open.
Yes I have purchased identity theft protection. According to me, average person that has their identity stolen spends over 600 hours trying to clean it up. People don't realize that it's not just your credit ID that can get stolen- it's your whole life.
Today many firms provide identity theft protection. You can get it at myid.com.
Not yet, but with the number of cases of identity theft rising by the day, I just might look into it. Does your bank offer some kind of discount if you pay up in advance? Else you could check if your auto and home insurance company provide you identity theft insurance too.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
