Identity Theft: Like Shooting “Phish” in a Barrel

So your dear old grandma, who’s in the nursing home, bought a new Harley and appears to have gone on a road trip down to Daytona. Yeah, I didn’t think so. Identity theft is a major concern for many people, and rightfully so. Stealing someone’s identity is easier than ever due to Internet shopping, more sophisticated means of gleaning information from credit cards, and people’s ignorance on how little information is needed in order to steal your identity. According to safeidentityprotection.com, your name and address or date of birth is really all an identity thief needs
in order to get started on hijacking your personal
financial information.
