Identity Theft and Wordpress
I have heard that there is a way to make it harder for credit cards to be opened in my name by adding a pin or something to my ssn. My mom has stolen my brother's identity but he didnt press charges and now I am affraid that it will happen to me.. Is there something I can do to help prevent this?? Please help!
I am wondering how does people's SSN# got stolen and all the personal info stolen as well. And is it easy for people's personal info get stolen on the computer over the internet?
Thanks!
i saw on the news i think about a week or two ago that some people stole credit and identity theft by driving by around stores and using some sort of technology in their car to steal it. but what if its in a mall? i like to shop at forever21, and i heard that was one of the stores affected by this crime, and im worried that it would happen at the mall.
My boss is very picky about shredding his junk mail because he says things like credit card offers, etc. have his personal info on them and people could steal his identity. The thing is, whenever I respond to a credit card offer (for myself), I still have to give them all my pertinent info. SO, unless you have all that info, how can you steal someone's identity through a piece of junk mail? Or am I right and he's just paranoid?

About a year ago, I found out that my name was used to purchase a number of magazines. The magazine company sent me a letter telling me that I was going to be put into collection if I didn't pay the amount billed for the magazines. Well I knew it wasn't me who purchased the magazines, so I told the company that it was a fraud account and luckily they closed the account without billing me. But heres the catch: the address that the magazines were being sent to was a relative of mine. Also, the magazine company sent me a copy of the card that was filled out by my relative. When I recieved the copy of the card I knew exactly that this person was my cousin because I noticed her handwriting. Now my only problem is how am I going to prove that it was her writing? If I ask her I know right away that she will just lie about it. I've already filed for identity theft and all I need to do is file a police report. What will the police do about it? Will they do an investigation?
I'm wondering how does identity theft happen from surfing or viewing adult web sites? and can someone fish for your credit card information just by surfing at these sites?
