I am new here, just finding my way around. My identity got stolen once, and I just wanted to share this story with you. It happened (I think so anyway) when I was ordering a toy for my kid, and unfortunately I did it on my work computer. I work at a hospital, and I was thinking, hospital computers are the world's most secure computers, if they can protect hospital data, they sure should be able to protect my little credit card. And lo and behold, I started getting receipts for things I never bought. I even got a receipt for an adult item that makes me blush even to mention it. Someone was really going to town on my credit card, and it barely had any money on it to start with. Within one week, this identity thief had bought hair restoration oil , one of those 'male' pills they are advertising on tv, arctic gloves (what on earth!) and a radio. Landsakes! And now what do I do? Look for a bald man with ED who lives in Alaska and has no cable? A friend told me about this website http://theftofidentity.org and I learnt a lot from it. I thought it may help you also. I am sure I am not the only person who has been hit with something like this. This website contains a really effective software that I am using now, it is a free download: http://creditcardshield.org identity theft news identitytheft PROTECT YOUR IDENTITY FROM YOUR SPOUSE identitytheft ------------------
