I haven't personally experienced identity theft, and to be quite honest, I'm not sure if anyone would want to steal my identity. :) Hey, if you steal my identity, you're going to have to take everything else that comes with it! You're going to have to come to my house and take care of seven children 24-7, deal with sleepless nights and hectic days...
On a serious note - because identity theft is serious to those who have suffered through the ordeal - IdentityHawk offers a comprehensive identity theft protection service to anyone who wants to ensure that their credit...and, ultimately, their lives, are protected. Think about how easily our information can be obtained, no matter how careful we are. Everything revolves around online and automatic payments to our creditors...we are quick to provide our credit card information to online stores and over-the-phone vendors. How do we know that our personal information is safe?
Identity theft protection is just a few steps away with IndentityHawk. Not only do they evaluate and present you with an identity health score, they will also point out all of the different aspects of your life that offer opportunities to snakes who steal identities for a living. What I learned from their website is that identity theft is just the first step to identity fraud...and, call me dumb, but I thought they were the same thing! No...identity theft occurs when someone actually steals the information...the act of using that information is the "fraud".
After reading their website, I've realized that we all could take a hit at any time. But it doesn't have to be that way, when there are companies like IdentityHawk.
Here's the best part...they offer a 30-day trial to get you started on you way to security.
Have you ever dealt with identity theft or fraud? How did you handle it? Have you ever worked with a company like IdentityHawk? Let me know your thoughts...
