Hi, this is great information! As we all know, ID theft is one of the fastest growing crimes ever . I would like to add a few more tips: Some of the easiest things to do are to make sure you have the updated version of your internet browser installed. And make sure you immediately download any security “patches” when they become available. If you “live’ on your computer like I do, then you realize how important it is to stay alert when surfing. Thanks for letting me contribute to your blog.

Do you also recommend using a secure locking mailbox as a deterrent to ID theft? Since mail theft is so easy to do, people with little or no technical and computer skills can and do steal identities via mail.

Thanks for the helpful article. I can not stress enough to people how important it is to watch out for thieves especially at the ATM machine. I always try to go into a store to use an ATM machine instead of being outside, in clear view by myself. Just another helpful tip to increase precaution and awareness of identity thieves.

It truly is amazing that people fall for these “lawyer letters” & “banker letters” from over seas.
But I guess they must work or they would not keep sending them out. But I did learn something new about the chain letter type emails helping to create a data base for these scrum bags. I knew there was a reason I didn’t want to forward those emails to my friends (other than just lazy). Thanks for the heads up.

Checking the credit report and the county records are very substantive steps to checking to see if identity theft has occurred. Good suggestions. Credit bureaus also have services that take other steps that might be a good idea too.

ID theft prevention is helpful. But it is impossible to protect yourself completely, unless you want to live in the woods. I find the real substantive benefit for people is to be able to help clean up the problem after it occurs.
