IDENTITY THEFT: THE FASTEST GROWING CRIME IN AMERICA 
NEW STRATEGIES TO HELP YOU AVOID BECOMING A VICTIM

Brought to you by Kenneth Castro

Imagine what it would be like to wake up one morning to find bills for credit cards you’ve never applied for, phone bills under your name that don’t belong to you, or getting a threatening call from a collector wanting payment for a car you didn’t buy. You would probably be confused and frustrated at first. Then that confusion would turn to anger and fear when you realize your credit—and your good name—have been severely damaged. What would you do? How do you undo it? How much money has been spent in your name? How did this happen?  How many “you’s" are there out there in the world applying for jobs, credit and a driver’s license in YOUR name?

Unfortunately, this scenario is exactly what thousands of people experience every day. It is identity theft, and it is growing in the U.S. at an alarming rate. In fact, it is the FASTEST GROWING CRIME in America. Now more than ever, a person’s identity has become their most valuable asset. Protecting that asset is paramount not only for the safety of your clients but also for their ability to acquire credit. There are numerous villains out there preying on innocent victims who simply do not know how to protect their identities from being stolen.

We bring attention to identity theft now because the nature of the crime is changing rapidly, with thieves becoming more and more clever at obtaining information. They’ll break into a car not for a fancy stereo, but for a bank statement carelessly left in the back seat. They’ll dig through your trash for tossed-out credit card applications. They’ll even ask for the information point blank, and unknowing victims simply give them what they want, without knowing the danger associated with it.

Identity theft CAN BE PREVENTED! I cannot stress enough...
