In the 1960’s, a popular notion was the idea of “finding yourself.” These days, with the prevalence of identity theft, it’s safe to say that even if you are unable to find yourself, someone else might!
Consider the numbers. In our country with more than 300 million people, over a billion records containing personal information are leaked each year. With this fact in mind, it shouldn’t be too surprising that identity theft is the No. 1 consumer complaint received by the Federal Trade Commission. While the inconvenience from identity theft is bad enough, the potential financial losses and damage to your credit rating add insult to injury.
