Anthony, Thought you might be interested in this article... I'm going to copy and past the whole thing (it's lengthy) in my ID Theft forum as well... Scarey but GOOD info!

Hi Suzanne, That is a great article, it's scary too. I will re-post this post & your other post, so that more members can read it. Thank you for the information. Your security minded friend in Las Vegas.

Thanks Anthony, I knew you'd be interested... I wasn't sure if you'd want me to just email the article to you to post, or what.. I run across this kind of stuff unfortunately more and more.. The weird thing is...so many people just still do not believe it can happen to them..or that it's just limited to their "credit" being messed up... but it's just so much more involved than that! If your social sec # is stolen and someone commits a crime while using your identity, YOU are responsible until YOU prove that you were not the one that committed the crime! It's great to see someone as committed to personal security issues as my hubby and I are! Have a great week! Suzanne Summerville, SC

Suzanne. That is why I have posted both this link, & your own link to my list, so that the members of our community can see, what exactly will happen to them if the un-thinkable does happen to them. It is a sad fact in this world of ours, that if a creditor has your name down for a bill, then they will not stop until you have paid it, even though it has nothing to do with you at all. It is a money driven world we now live in, maybe thats the reason a bank robber, gets a higher jail sentance, than a murder. Thank you for letting me be able to pass this message of yours on. Your Security minded friend in Las Vegas.
