Identity Theft Services - How to successfully compare services
I’ve had people tell me they are not at risk for Identity Theft because they shred everything and do not shop online. Unfortunately, the real risk lies in the “Databased You.” Your information lives in so many paper files and computer systems that you have absolutely no control over. Even a quick look around your doctor’s office might reveal open-shelved medical record filing. Almost all tell me that they have a cleaning crew come in at night. Some fraud rings operate cleaning services for this reason alone - to gain access to sensitive information when no one is watching.
Chances are likely that you’ve received a letter in the mail indicating that a computer was lost or stolen or a database hacked with your sensitive information on it (Veterans Administration, TJ Maxx, Bank of America, ChoicePoint, the Colorado child support system and new hire database to name just a few).
