What Steps Have You Taken to Protect Yourself From Identity Theft?

Identity theft is one of those things we don't like to think about. I'd venture to guess we all know someone who's been a victim, perhaps by someone they know. Other times, it's a stranger who stumbles onto the unsuspecting individual's personal information and decides to open up a line of credit in their victim's name, grab a dozen of their closest friends and charter a jet to Paris to do a bit of shopping.

Have you personally taken steps towards identity theft protection? It's so easy to hope you'll never need it, but it's easier to sleep at night when you know you do! Have it that is!

How will you know if someone opens an account using your social security number? IdentityHawk is offering a free 30 day trial towards identity theft protection. I like free trials. I also like knowing my financial security is under lock and key.

Unfortunately, we live in an unscrupulous world filled with a lot of temptation for those who'd rather work hard to steal from unsuspecting people, than to work hard making an honest living. Be sure to protect yourself by being one step ahead of the game! Check your credit report often and consider the peace of mind identity theft protection can offer.
