Yes , thank you Lilith. Coincidentally, the episode of CSI:Miami last night was about identity theft.The suspect in the story rooted through the victims trash and found an application for a pre-approved loan.She applied for the loan and received it at a P.O. box!! You can't be too careful these days!

Isn't the real criminal and enemy ChoicePoint!





When we met Lil, you can make me suck your panties so you know it’s really me. :lust:

Identity theft is a horrible thing to deal with...My ex had his identity stolen shortly after he came back from the gulf war and it messed things up for him for a long time.

Companies like this should not be allowed to operate. It's bad enough that people can just "buy" info like this about you anyhow. That's MY opinion.

As an extra precaution, I shred all of my personal mail that might give anything about me away, that's one good quality the ex instilled in me! You just don't think about it until it happens to you and I don't want my credit screwed up because of someone else.

It's a BOY!!

This has been a focus of a local tv channel and they are pointing out all sorts of things people don't think about ....

1) donating computers, REFORMAT the hard drive to ensure all data is fully removed, simply deleting all your files leaves bits and bytes behind. They tested several computers donated to Salvation Army and found TONS of info about the previous ownerS ..... yes, OWNERS... not just the most recent owner of the computer.

2) demand that retailers look at your signature when you sign a receipt and compare it to your receipt. It's a few moments of inconvenience, but it reminds them to do their job. And if you are like me and your signature strip is worn off the back of your debit card, hand them your photo ID with the receipt. (I actually get asked for ID about 60% of the time I use the card at a non pin-pad)
