IDENTITY THEFT - THEY TAKE MORE THAN MONEY!
"I feel very fortunate. I was the target of identity theft in early 2010, but I was lucky enough to catch it early. I had always said I needed to get identity theft protection, but I kept putting it off. Once I realized someone had all of my bank debit card information, I realized that I was keeping my family at risk by doing nothing. Now, I not only use Identity Theft ShieldSM but I also promote it through Cornerstone Insurance Solutions because it is one of the best ID theft protection programs in the country."
-Ken Billinger, Managing Partner
It can take minutes to steal your identity, but years to repair the financial damage and emotional toll on your and your loved ones. Criminals want to rip-off your identity, your financial history, and everything else that you've worked hard to earn. They are determined to make a name for themselves by taking advantage of your credit record.
37 percent of victims experienced problems beyond the time they spend recovering including their out of pocket expenses and almost one-quarter of victims of new account and other frauds did not discover the misuse of information for at least six months after it started.
THE FIVE MAJOR TYPES OF IDENTITY THEFT INVOLVE:
- Driver's Licenses
