Safe Information Handling is vital. Find out your risk
for compromised information. You owe it to your employees to offer them
solutions and help with identity theft.
You could be
handing out your information without even realizing it. Go beyond the
basics and find out how you can become proactive.
There are only two pieces of information that can make you vulnerable to
identity theft. Do you know what they are? Do you have them?
We've all heard about identity theft and the
basic steps to protect ourselves. Because we hear it often, many people
assume they know what to do to minimize their risk of becoming a victim.
This creates a false sense of security. There's a lot more to
protecting your personal information than shredding documents, avoiding
the internet, or not using credit cards.
It is up to USto out wit the
thieves, become proactive and take back our own identities!
Laws won't stop thieves from this low
risk high profit crime. The longer we let them have the control the
more it will cost everyone! You may not have to pay for fraudulent
charges on your credit cards, but who does? We all do! Credit card
companies collect money to cover fraudulent charges by increasing
interest rates and other fees.
Compare it to being in an auto accident. It
will happen even if we have auto insurance. But if we learn how to
drive, take precautions, avoid speeding, watch out for other drivers, we
will reduce our chances of being in an accident. The same is true for
identity theft. We need to learn the
'rules of the road'
to reduce our risk, and the risk of our employees and clients, from
becoming victims.
Cindy has been providing
identity theft prevention seminars since 2002. Going beyond the basics,
her seminars provide practical steps for individuals and businesses.
Businesses can be
careless about the way they handle sensitive information. Workers aren't
properly trained to store and discard this data, or even worse,
companies don’t have an established information privacy policy at all.
Being proactive is the only why to halt the
invasion of identity theft.
