I’m lucky right now, no one would want to steal my credit info, it’s not useful. I have so much debt and no job so my credit is save for now, but that doesn’t mean that my Identity is save. Not everyone is after your money, some people just don’t want others knowing who they are or what they are doing. Other people may commit a crime and want it to be traced to someone else, that someone else could end up being you.

That is why you need a service like lifelock or another company that will educate you on what you need to do if your identity is stolen. Its not a fun thing at all trust me. I know someone who went though it. They had to get a new social security number, id and everything. They now have no credit history except for one credit card that allowed them to transfer everything over. they were helpful, but many companies are not. I have learned a ton from this persons problems. One is watch what you tell people online, watch what information you give out and don’t trust anyone, even someone trying to hire you for a job. That is how the person I know got her identity stolen.
