Confused...

(Not me...:)

Today, I'm feeling kind of confused.

Here's why. A close friend of mine told me a story abut being in line at the bank the other day. While in line, he could hear a conversation going on between a bank employee and a lady who apparently just had her identity stolen and used by someone.

Now my friend listened because he was recently a vicim of identity theft and had a lawyer from a provider law firm contracted by his identity theft service. This lady was distraught and the bank employee, who turned out to be the manager, really couldn't offer any real solutions. Now, she will get the charges reversed, but her identity is still out there being used and the bank could do nothing to help her with that.

Armed with the identity theft service my friend just bought, he approached the lady on her way out and offered her information on his awesome new service he just signed up for, who actually would fully restore this ladies identity, if she had it of course.

shockingly the lady looked at him and said, "No, I don't need that." Amazing! she was in the bank distraught about the identity theft that had been perpetrated on her and the bank could really do nothing to stop it from happening and SHE SAID NO to a service that would protect and restore her back to where she was before the id theft.

I remember an episode of 20/20 where a guy on the street from the show stood on a busy New York City corner trying to give away a $100 dollar bill. Yeah, I said "trying".

He couldn't give the $100 away to save his life. What is wrong with people?

What would you have done if my friend, who is very sharp and professional and happens to be a pastor, approached you and offered you information about how to solve your identity theft issue? The very issue that you just learned the bank can't help you with...WOW.

Everyone needs to at least know what the options available. I suggest, and of course, I'm just an Identity Theft Risk Management Specialist, so my suggestion means nothing, send me an email and let's talk about real solutions that will protect you, your business and your employees...

Stolen Identity Used For ATM Withdrawals



   (Picture from article)

Everyday it seems as though we are hearing of new improved ways that identity thieves are stealing identities and OUR money, benefits and even our freedoms...

This is another example.

Every business owner I advise or group of employee I speak to is worked about this epidemic. It may be funny to say "they can have my identity" but in reality, those are the people who believe identity theft is ONLY credit related.

I promise you that whether you have awesome credit or horrible credit, you can still be charged with a crime, have your benefits from work stolen from you and your precious IRS refund spent by someone else...it's time to realize this is bigger than you think.

I am here to answer questions and help guide those who see the danger inherent with this issue and get them on the right track to prevention and, god forbid, restoration if you are a victim.

Medical Identity Theft

Wow! most don't realize the exposure they have for identity theft from their medical information. Yes, Medical information.

Check out this article from Albany, New York. This person got caught, but how many others out there don't even know they are victims...
