Identity Theft
Identity theft happens when someone uses your
name or personal information to impersonate you in order to purchase products,
or to participate in criminal activity.
Identity Theft is a growing problem in the world
today. It seems like there is a new story in the media every day
about some becoming a victim. The site
http://www.identitytheft.org/protect.htm has a lot of great
information on things that you can do to protect yourself, like using
secure passwords and not things like your mother's maiden name, where
you went to high school or where you were born as your password or
security question.
Every home should own a shredder. If you do not
need a document any more and it has information about you on it . . .
name, address, email, date of birth, social security number, bank
account or credit card account information . . . then it should go in
the shredder NOT the garbage.
How to Protect Yourself
One program that we would recommend would be The Personal Records
Vault.
If you go to
http://www.securisphere.us/ and click on the lock
you can then view all of the different features of the different
levels this program has to offer. Once you decide if you want to
go with Bronze, Gold or Platinum level, click on the word Purchase
for that level.
You will then be redirected to this site,
https://www.thepersonalrecordsvault.com/default.aspx
and you will need to click on the ENROLL button on the far right
of the screen (under the picture of the key)
It will then ask you if
you have an Access Code . . . click on yes.
Once you get to the
Enrollment form the first thing you need to enter is the Access
Code. Enter
SVU as
your access code (this will let them know that we referred you)
