Identity Protection from TrustedID
My friends call me bonkers, but better safe than sorry. I can’t even count of all the places that have my social security number and date of birth over my lifetime. It would be impossible for me to round up all that information.That’s why I decided to sign up for identity theft protection with Trusted ID. You can read a TrustedID review like I did and see what they provide.
Identity thieves are better at getting credit with your information than you are. My friends think all banks, lenders and credit bureaus are perfect and never make errors. But that’s not true. Because we all want instant credit and instant transactions, these places work on a ‘close enough’ model of checking information. On top of that, stores and merchants may not have the latest security measures on their electronic transactions. Most don’t. That’s how come there are so many data breaches nowadays that affect hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions, of people at the same time.
Laptops, hard drives and backup tapes that have zillions of pieces of personal info on them go missing all the time. (Okay, I know ‘zillions’ isn’t really a word, but it just seems to fit here!) Heck, hackers don’t have to even be computer whizzes anymore because most businesses have security holes in them big enough to drive a truck through. Sloppy security procedures and just plain stupid mistakes happen all the time.
More identites are stolen every year. Thieves are quite organized and smart. They all play a minor part in the theft, which makes it virtually impossible to track them down. Even if caught, a conviction is difficult to get. Identity thieves know this and it’s a crime that’s very attractive and profitable.
I chose TrustedID’s plan because they’ve been around for a while and have a good track record of protecting people. Suze Orman – that financial lady from TV – recommends them. She knows what she’s talking about. They have all the right tracking and monitoring tools to keep me safe. On top of that, I can call them 24/7 and get a nice person on the phone. Just try that with one of the credit bureaus and their identity theft monitoring services!
I got a Trusted ID promotional code which lowered my membership cost a whopping 15%. Plus I got a free month.
Disturbed? Call me anything you want, I’m staying safe.
