Identity Theft Protection: "Being a victim of an identity theft wastes your social reputation and you will have to prove yourself innocent at the same time which will take your hours of paper work and dollars of money from your pocket. Always prevention is better than cure. Here are some of the ways that may help you in protecting your identity being stolen:
* Keep a bird’s eye on your credit report and inquire changes into your score from competent authority.
* Don’t share your personal information with strangers. Especially at doctor’s offices and other places of business. Think twice before you disclose too much information. Accidental disclosures on the business end can put you at risk for identity theft .
* Protect your government ids from being stolen by storing them in a safe place when not in use rather than carrying them with your self.
* Thieves gain access to your personal information by stealing discarded information. This is known as dumpster driving. Hence, it is always preferable to shred and destroy your documents after you use them.
* Guard your mail by replacing unlocked versions from a secure model. It is always safe to place your mail on hold when you are on travel. This helps to eliminate mail theft."
