Social Security ID Theft

By Bruce Michalak


How secure are you from Identity Theft? Think about how easy it is for people to get your information. They can get while you buy online. People get Stuff from your mailbox, your bank statements, your retirement fund. They can look you up on sites on the Internet.

Most people think that crooks can only get to their financial information. The deal is there are four other areas that they can wipe you out.

Medical ID theft. This is the fastest growing area. People are having medical treatment and surgeries done by getting someone else's insurance information. Along with fake IDs. The hospital does not know you. So if someone comes in with your information and their own photo ID. The sky is the limit.

Can you imagine someone making themselves a new Drivers License, with their picture and your address and license number on it. They could go out and get as many tickets as they want. Then when you get pulled over, guess who goes to jail.

Social Security Number Identity Theft. This is the one that leads to almost everything about you, and you could have given it to some company 20 years ago and an employee of that company could get a hold of it and have the time of their life.

How would you like to get a call from your bank to tell you that your checks are bouncing and your checking and savings account are both at $0. This one is called Financial Identity Theft.

There is one company that has been in business for over 40 years. A company that protects and restores your Identity and they cover you for about 43 cents per day. They cover spouse and kids under 18. They cover all areas. They do not have radio spots.

The newest problem is Child Identity Theft. Who would have thought. Stealing the ID of a child is easy and no one would know it for years. I'm guessing you have never even heard of this or you don't believe it. Don't underestimate the crooks.
