The fear that I’ll become the next identity theft victim is eating me alive.
The Federal Trade Commission (FDC) estimates that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. Once a person becomes an identity theft victim everything will never be the same again.
When I read in the news that 11 people were charged by Federal prosecutors for theft and sale of more than 40million credit and debit card numbers in the US I was relieved but not completely so. I know there are still some bad elements out there lurking around for their next victim.
I think the worse thing that can happen in my life is if somebody steals my identity. It will not only affect me but my family as well. If I will become a victim of identity theft (knock on wood) I’ll do everything in my power to prove that I’m not guilty and I have everything to show that I’m a responsible consumer.
