We will in a world where thieves can wreak havoc without ever entering your house.
Identity Thieves use your information to commit crimes that are far more serious than hacked credit cards.
Your medical information is not monitored unless you have given written permission.
Thieves will use your information to get prescription drugs or even have medical procedures performed and you get the bill.
Every time there is a data breach, thieves gather more personal information. Over time, that information is pieced together to complete a person's identity.
Thieves access your accounts, commit crimes in your name and use your medical information.
I often hear people say they aren't worried about identity theft because they have lousy credit. Your credit score is of little or no concern to an identity thief.
They don't need your credit for 80% of the crimes they will commit while destroying your good name.
When the crime is found out, you will be the one the police come after.
You will be the one who receives the medical bills.
It makes sense to have more than credit monitoring services.
You would be best served with a full-service identity theft protection for the entire family.
Remember, Identity thieves do not discriminate. The moment a baby receives a SS number until after a person dies, they are at risk.
Take Identity Theft seriously so it doesn't take you for a ride.
