Identity Theft ShieldSM

What if your identity were stolen from you? Would you even know where to start???

What would you do?

- Contact your bank and/ or credit card provider?
- Call the three primary credit bureaus?
- Read the Federal Trade Commission’s 30-page consumer support publication and follow the helpful but expensive steps recommended?
- Fill out numerous affidavits and fight/dispute all new and unauthorized accounts?
- Spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours in trying to fix the the severe damage caused by the thieves?

The FTC estimates that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. In fact, you or someone you know may
have experienced some form of identity theft. The crime takes many forms. Identity thieves may rent an apartment, obtain a credit card,
or establish a telephone account in your name. You may not find out about the theft until you review your credit report or a credit card
statement and notice charges you didn’t make—or until you’re contacted by a debt collector.

Identity Theft ShieldSM provides regular monitoring of your credit report and puts specialists in the field of identity restoration
to work for you.

Identity theft is a serious crime and comes in many “flavors”. There are many terms that describe some of the identity thieves’
sneaky tactics. If you are not familiar with any of the terms that follow, then you are at risk and should seek protection
immediately: dumpster diving, skimming, phishing (not “fishing”), unauthorized changes of address, old-fashioned stealing,
pretexting, etc.

To find out if you are a potential target for ID theft, ask yourself the following questions. Have you ever:

- handed your credit card to a waiter at a restaurant?
- signed your credit card?
- entered personal information into an online form?
- kept your social security number in your wallet or purse?
- left mail at your house or business for the postman to pick up?
- shredded old mail containing personal information?
