Identity Theft by using Social Security Numbers

Posted on 17 November 2008 by Dr. Robert White

[ad#lifelock]
One of the most dangerous ways of having identity theft is through your social security. Your social security number can give anyone any information about you. If you are one of those people who keep their social security card in the wallet or purse, you are playing a very dangerous game.

Are you one of those people who shred every document with your social security number on it? Not many people do.

For those who are not aware of what the garbage says, then you may be amount the masses that have had identity theft by social security number. This allows others to take advantage of your many credit cards and bank accounts as well.

A lot of people will take social security numbers and then they will work into new bank accounts with your name on it because they have all the information that is needed. It may seem like a lot of work, but its an easy pay off to these people.

All it takes is someone to confirm your social security number and they have access to all your money and they will use it and destroy your good name. You will find that someone can now order things online, get utilities, and even carry out a whole new life all at your expense.

Sometimes this is easy to lead to arrest, but it’s only after your name and credit has been ruined. Depending on the motivation of the thief, you may have a simple problem that eventually goes away, or you may end up having illegal immigrants coming into the country using your name time and time again.

It could take months or even years for you to be able to straighten up the matter, but your life will be ruined for quite sometime. You will also find that the IRS may come in and even ask you to pay taxes on some of the properties that others have purchased in your name. Even when you do have your life straightened out, the IRS still may want to take a closer look into your life, and no one really wants to deal with that.

Advertise Your Blog In Your Email Signature

Posted on 17 November 2008 by Dr. Robert White

If you have a blog that you are particularly proud of, and that you want to share with other people, there are a lot of free ways that you can get your blog noticed.

One of those ways is something that you do everyday, and that you may not even consider as a way to share your blog. Put the link to your blog in your e-mail signature.

Chances are that you send out e-mails more times that you can count during the day, Each time you send out an e-mail, you can advertise your blog by putting the address of your blog in your e-mail’s signature line.

It’s always a good idea to write something catchy like, “See what I am up to now”, or “Read my latest chapter of my fanfic here”, depending on what type of blog you have.

The thing to remember about putting an advertisement in your signature for your blog is to make it short, but eyecatching.

You want people to be interested enough to want to click on it, but you also don’t want to scare them off.

Just like it is with any advertisement, you want to give them just enough to be interested and take a closer look at what it is that you are advertising.

Think about what it is that your blog is about. What is really going to interest people about it and why they will want to visit. That is what you should include in your signature, and that is what is going to get people to go to your blog.
