In the past couple of days, I’ve read more status updates on Facebook about people getting their credit card numbers stolen. I just can’t fathom the thought that there are people out there that think this type of behavior is okay.
Over the last six months or so I’ve learned so much about simple things I can do at home to make sure my personal information is protected and kept safe. It’s a shame that we have to take so many precautions, but the simple fact is that there are people constantly searching, snooping and stealing information that they have no business getting their hands on.
LifeLock has recently released a few videos to inform consumers simple ways to keep your personal information where it should be; safe and secure!

Yup, anyone is susceptible…. My husband is super anal about identity protection and he still found himself to be the victim of a “fishing expedition.” they didn’t actually get his info but they were REALLY trying.
Crystal says
I hate that! It’s a shame we have to worry about scumbags stealing our information.
