Easy tips to avoid identity theft

Identity theft has become so rampant that nearly every family has been victimized. 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.

Yours truly was hit when someone created credit card accounts to the tune of about $20,000 and was even paying on one or two of them. And someone else even tried to list a stolen Honda CRV in my name on eBay, where I have a flawless history of about 10 years.
