The Importance of Protecting Yourself
Things that
used to not be of great importance even a few years ago are now essential.
Little things such as losing your driver’s license were inconvenient but not a
real great loss. Today the problem of social security number identity theft
makes every incident a potential crime. We deal with these types of crimes
every day and have seen cases where someone lost their driver’s license and
later discovered all their personal information had been compromised.
Preventing Identity Theft of a Social
Security Card
Once a thief
is in possession of a person’s social security card the potential for damage is
substantial. It is for this reason we always instruct consumers to protect
their social security number because in the hands of the wrong person, socialsecurity card identity theft is not just possible but probable. The key to the
prevention (or at least reduction) of identity theft cases lies in the efforts
each consumer makes to protect himself.
Identity
theft is a growing problem, especially when a social security number is in the
