Your Identity Protection Plan

There is a new profession growing at an astronomical rate, and its not an honorable one.  Identity Theft is the fastest growing crime worldwide affecting millions of people every day. 9 million Americans will face the daunting task of credit restoration and financial ruin in 2010.   Unfortunately, victims are unaware of the crime until long after your credit and monies are breached.  A call from a collection agency or bank is generally how most consumers discover the mess.  How do you protect yourself? A safe identity protection plan will not only monitor your credit with all of the major agencies, the plan will also restore your hard earned reputation and credit worthiness.  This investment is well worth the piece of mind it affords.  Imagine you find out that your newborn baby’s social security number was compromised and you are receiving medical bills in his name that someone else fraudulently submitted.  Medical fraud is a thriving hive of criminal activity. Your college students have major liability as their social security number is still a primary means of identification.  Your high school and pre-teen children have information in rec leagues, school, doctors and dentists offices, and the new spot for easy prey, social networks.  How many screeners at your credit card call center ask for your Mother’s maiden name and a DOB as proof of identification.  Just about all married women that use facebook list their maiden name and DOB. The opportunities are everywhere for a thief to grab bits and pieces of your information.  They are patient and will not go away quietly.  As technology improves, so do the criminals.  Guard yourself with an identity protection plan.  Think of your investment as insurance, just like you insure your house, home, or business.  When you think about all you’ve worked hard for, this kind of investment is not only wise, but necessary.
