Subject: Could this really happen to you! ============================================== Hi [FirstName]: [Email recipient's Name], [recipiantTitle] Over the past few years, we all thought that if we just worked real hard, lived an honest life, and didn't harm anyone, that no one would harm us! Our security, wellbeing, and happiness would be secure. Yet, every day in the paper we hear of some crook stealing things that weren't theirs to begin with. Like that identity thief (now behind bars), who stole financial information from the likes of Martha Stewart, Tiger Woods, and Steven Spielberg. But, these are celebrities. There is no way that a person who doesn't share the limelight with celebrities could be a target for such attacks - RIGHT? Read some real world stories from the Identity theft files: of ordinary folks who had their lives ruined. You be the judge. ID theft ring caught milking the elderly 3 men were caught in a local Motel executing a devious plan to milk money out of the elderly.

It was a nightmare for him and his girlfriend (soon to be married at the time) to purchase a house. I am happy to say that they were finally able to get the house of their dreams, but not until they had to fight the credit card companies to clean up their credit...because of what an id thief stole from them - their good name and reputation. Vacationer blocked from withdrawing funds from ATM While vacationing in Southern California over the holidays, a man attempted to withdraw money from his bank's branch office local ATM machine near his hotel. The digital readout indicated that no funds were to be available, and stated he needed to see the manager inside the branch. Once inside the bank, the manager said that someone else's account information was attached to his account, and that the bank would not be able to give him his requested funds. The manager stated that only "his" branch could remedy the situation. The vacationer was helpless... until returning home. So what can you do TODAY.
