(What is Identity Theft and How to Avoid It)
O.K., I’ll protect myself from identity theft; but first I have to know what it is. So, what exactly is identity (ID) theft?
Succinctly put, it is the crime of obtaining your personal and / or financial information (i.e. name, address, Social Security number, credit card information, bank information, etc.) to assume your identity to either commit a criminal act, fraudulently secure credit or services, make purchases or secure money while impersonating you.

Stuff Happens: Be Prepared
As children, if we learned nothing else from those “scary” nursery rhymes, it should have been that “stuff” happens! Scary? Yes, Scary! Jack fell down and broke his crown… Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall (worse yet, they couldn’t put him back together again!)… The wind blew and down came cradle, baby and all… little Miss Muffet had her meal interrupted by a spider… and two little Piggies got there houses blown down. Is that scary enough for you?
