I heard an expert on Identity Theft give a presentation today…and he asked…
HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK YOUR IDENTITY IS WORTH?
To You? To Someone Else? What value would you place on your own
personal identity? How would you calculate the value? Would it be in
dollars? Is it one year’s earnings? two or three years earnings? It
could amount to all of your assets. Is your identity measured in terms
of emotions? Identity theft delivers a powerful negative emotional
impact to the victim. Most say their lives will never be the same after
it happened to them. Is it measured in terms of time? Victims say that
they have been attempting to repair their identity, credit, reputation
and other related personal items for years. Some victims say that they
are no longer able to buy a home or car or make a major purchase as
their information has been tarnished. The real impact of identity theft
can be unimaginable! It would be very difficult to accept the fact that
someone else is using my identity, my bank accounts, my social security
number, my medical records information, my drivers license, and for
someone to state to other people that they were me like attending work
using my name! How would you feel about this?
Should you try to protect your identity from others using it? Why? Why not?
What can happen if someone else uses your identity?
What can you do about it?
What will that person who stole your identity do to your life and lifestyle?
Who will protect your identity?
How can you protect your identity?
Thinking about the subject of someone stealing your identity is not
pleasant…but not to think about it is even worse…It can be that it is
irresponsible. I just have seen enough people get hurt that part of my
life is dedicated to helping others avoid the trauma that losing your
identity can bring. I am a strong advocate that every citizen needs the
best identity theft protection for themselves and their children. The
best plan provides for restoration of identity by licensed
investigators. I also recommend coupling that with with a family legal
plan to provide the optimum in identity theft and legal plan protection.
I suggest that you need to inform yourself and your friends that
there is an alternative which is much preferred by those who have been
informed about the differences. Once someone’s identity has been
stolen, the preferable solution is restoration to the original status
before the theft. This includes credit positions, positions with banks,
drivers licenses, social security numbers, medicare records, medical
records, and many agencies that have your data. Very few people are
aware that preventing identity theft is virtually impossible. Even more
do not realize what courses of action must be taken once their identity
has been stolen. Very few people realize that in order to restore your
identity that it will take many hours and typically years of effort to
contact all of the parties that have your identity data that may have
been negatively impacted. Do you know in how many digital data bases
your personal identity resides? And in what locations, companies,
government agencies, hospitals, employers, stores, suppliers could your
data be located?
LegalShield and Kroll Investigative Services Solutions
Again, I sincerely recommend that you protect yourself for identity
theft, including your children, and when you do so, be sure to look for
an identity theft package that does not just mail you the
do-it-yourself forms for you to correct the issues, but includes their
own staff of licensed investigators using power of attorneys and working
with very reputable provider attorney firms. This is quite different
from you doing the work and requesting reimbursement after the work is
completed. In many cases you will not qualify for reimbursement from an
insurance policy that has exclusions. To protect yourself and your
loved ones, including your children, with the LegalShield and Kroll
Investigative Services Identity Theft Shield protective memberships you
