Identity theft
I just read this piece on identity theft. So it then came as a funny coincidence that my insurance policy came to me in the mail. Part of my policy gives me coverage for identity theft. A whopping $10,000.00 is what I am covered for. There is little doubt that identity theft is a real problem. Question is though, just how widespread is it? To my knowledge there is no one that I know who has been a victim of this. What about you guys? Anyone you know affected by this?

I have had mine stolen. Police in the last state I lived in found my information in a raid. Nothing had been done with it yet. It was determined that the data was stolen from the bank I worked at and had my accounts with.

Hi Mark,
Neat. Well kind of anyways
This is just one of those things ie: identity theft, that of course happens but I never actually knew of anyone personally of who it had happened to. Glad to hear though that no real damage was cause to you or your financial standing.
Hope all is well,
Don

I’ve known a family that has had their identity stolen. They caught it when credit card bills came in and they saw several charges on their account. The bank also noticed unusual purchases. There is a company UnlistAssit (dot) com, however that will remove your name from major online databases and directory lists for 3 years.
