4. Consumers, be aware!
Some scam artists are more crafty than the others. You
may be able to easily dispute a credit card charge, but
when it comes to proving you were not the person
who looks just like you and committed other
aggravated identity theft related crimes… Things
become incredibly difficult.
5. How does it affect
the victims?
Anndorie Cromar was victim of
medical identity theft, which caused
her to be a subject of investigation, go
to court and almost lose custody of her
children because someone stole her ID
from her car to go to the hospital and
give birth to a meth baby.
6. What should be
done to prevent
identity theft
crimes?
Feeling careful? Think
twice.
There are millions of online database which
contain information such as names, location,
telephone number and it is possible to find
information about your relatives as well.
Websites such as Airbnb will ask you questions
that will raise some hair on the back of your
head. NO PANIC! The measure is taken to
make sure users as host/tenants are protected
from prospects with a dirty background.
Remember when I told you not to panic? Well,
security may be compromised and any time a
website with the resource of Airbnb get hacked.
You information is made available to millions of
scammer trying to get a slice. The internet is
wonderful and convenient, but just if you know
how to use it.
7. Don’t give you
information to
strangers.
Remember that great
deal on Pandora
bracelets on Facebook?
STAY AWAY!!!
8. Preventing Identity Theft
• Make sure your PINS and password are strong: Anyone could guess a
birthday, spouse nickname, telephone number and such.
• Keep your PINS and passwords safe: It is no good to work so hard on a
strong PIN or password if you leave it out in the open.
• Protect your electronic devices: It is common to keep important e-files on
computers and smartphones and it is important to keep it away from the
thieves radar.
• Shred sensitive documents: Old bills, credit card offers or anything that may
contain personal information that can be used by dumpster divers.
• Secure your wireless password: People may trying more than just freeload on
your internet.

• Beware of suspicious emails: We all want that cash prize or that free
subscription, what we don’t want is to find our computer got
hacked!
• Lock important documents: Birth Certificates and Passports are
expensive and a bit difficult to recover. Make sure to keep those safe
and use as need.
• Stay alert in public: A lot of times thieves will place invisible sleeves
into ATMs and wait for you to swipe your card in order to steal
your money.
