Black Friday is here, will you become a victim of identity theft?
Thanksgiving is practically here and that means the busiest in store shopping day is here, Black Friday. Most of us will be hitting the malls, shopping centers and department stores around the country. We will not be alone, identity thieves and thieves in general will also be out there hitting the the same places that we hit. Black Friday is a perfect time for low-tech gathering of personal information.
Don’t become complacent thinking that Identity thieves need some complex convoluted scheme to steal your identity. Low tech methods work quite well, and on Black Friday you need to be on alert for these low tech methods.
A lot of people tend to think that there must be some sort of high tech plot behind identity theft but the low tech methods still work and work well. Because people are more focused on viruses and complex scams they forget about simple criminal activity.

It does tend to slip our minds that a simple little pickpocketing or purse snatching can be responsible for us falling victim to identity theft or other crimes.

Excellent timing and a good reminder that we do not live in a perfect world where everyone can be trusted
