Have you been an identity theft victim? Have you ever had to say, “It wasn’t me!”? Have you ever been surprised when you applied for credit and was told that you had all kinds of charges made in your name – charges you knew nothing about? That would be your first thought, wouldn’t it – it wasn’t me! So if this has happened to you, you know only too well what identity theft is.

And if you’ve been fortunate enough to have avoided this horrible crime, then consider that fact – you’ve been fortunate! So count your blessings and start developing your identity theft safety program today!
