In Reply to: Identity theft -- never thought it could - happen to me!
with my credit card company: i utilize their option to be e/mail alerted for any charges over x-amount, which i personally set at about $250. Then i also paid for an identity theft protection service through AMW (America's Most Wanted) which also has several checks/balances in place. You cannot be too careful nowadays. I think the last i heard, identity theft increased 500% over previous few years. Locally in our rural area, someone set up wireless phone service through a major company, but their employee pilfered the personal information and tried to 'steal' the identity. Luckily, they caught her. I understand it often takes about 5 years and thousands of dollars to clear up the mess after a breach.
