Here are some simple precautions that people can use to protect their ID.
1. Check you Credit Card Bill - ONLINE - at least weekly.

2. Have ONE Credit Card with a LIMIT of $1,000 or less that you use for online, or phone purchases.

3. Understand WHY the Credit Card Companies and Banks do not do more to push for enforcement, and stronger ID Theft Laws.

That is - They ALL Sell ID Theft Insurance. ID Theft insurance has become a BILLION $$$$ Business.
