Identity Thieves Feel Emboldened

🎯 Have you guys checked your credit reports and fraud alerts lately? With the big data breaches recently, your information has probably been leaked.

I was just waiting.

According to the fraud alerts I received this morning, some of my old identity information has two other phone numbers out of California I do not recognize.

Good thing I froze my credit reports back when the Experian debacle happened.

Too bad the State of California or the United States Government isn't actually interested in pursuing these criminals.

Remember: Identity theft includes more than just new debt created in your name. Identity thieves use your info for utility bills, medical access, legal matters, and more.

🎯 Take part of a day and check your records, put up fraud alerts, freeze your credit reports, and review your accounts. Put a reminder on your calendar to check your accounts at least once a month (just take a few minutes) as part of your normal routine.

Do other countries deal with identity theft plagues, or is it just the United States?
