 managerEver since I have been online I have never given out details about my bank I always use a small account I never use,I never use my full proper name as I am known by on everything I do on line I always think if my answer can be used,I destroy all mail,why am I so carefull.I was involved in it from when it first replaced Typewriters and have seen nearly every scam going.and working for the British Government up untill my accident I still get forward advance notice of all the breaches and scams,can take up to a day to read.I was lucky and was there at the beginning so I was able to set up my accounts and ID(which you still cant get as I am an ex-Governmemt employee,Idont even show up on the voters role and my tax code is not regonised by the tax office)so I believe I am pretty well save,but with all these Govt leaks who knows Apr 11th 2011 02:16 |

Medical Billing/Coding/InsuranceAnd that is the biggest threat of identity theft. It not the pick pocket or Dumpster diver we need to worry about now. We can be vigilant with our information to keep it away from them. When you think of everywhere our information is held and who holds it you realize that through no fault of your own your information can be lost. Apr 11th 2011 07:12 |
