Saturday, October 17 is IDENTITY THEFT AWARENESS DAY ! Identity Theft is the # 1 fraud complaint in American, reporting over 27.3 + million victims. It's also the fastest growing crime in America creating this tremendous need for awareness. As a designated ‘holiday’ celebrate by shreding all of your old financial and personal documents. This is not a “Hallmark” occasion, it’s declared a special day because consumers have become so complacent with their personal information. Here are some options that may be new to you.
Medical identity theft is growing in popularity. It’s not only very expensive to receive bills that someone else has run up, it is extremely dangerous. When other people use your medical history, the medical files are changed to match the thief’s medical history. The danger of course occurs when you experience an unexpected emergency, and become a patient. Your medical records which should show your blood type, allegories, physical aspects of your medical history, if stolen, will not match you.
You make a medical identity theft happy when you discard into the trash old medicine bottles without taking off the prescription labels. The paper sacks that pharmacies prints all your information on and puts your meds inside is usually thrown out in the trash too. Get into the habit of requesting a free report every four months from a different credit reporting bureau: Equifax, Trans Union and Experian. You can receive your free credit reports from http://www.annualcreditreport.com/ and monitor your history from this site also.
