Welcome!

As the world becomes more connected and confidential, our personal information becomes available in ever more places and to ever more people. Whether these people are based in a financial institution, local or national company, government office or just friends and neighbours, we are all at risk of some sort of ID crime or fraud.

Rates of these types of crimes are climbing and victims are suffering both financially and emotionally. These are certainly not victimless crimes, but it seems that the perpetrators are often invisible to us and to the law.

It is widely believed that identity theft is now the fastest growing crime on earth!

There are ways to prevent identity theft which are often just simple steps. This site will show you how to do the easy and more complicated jobs to secure your identity.

As the site grows, there will also be information on what to do if you have become the victim and need to take urgent action to prevent the problem from escalating.

This site was started because the author was a victim of crime. It was not actually identity theft, but when reported to the police, everyone seemed to compare it to identity theft. At that time, in about 2004, I had never heard of it, but as I researched a little, I found that my misfortunes were really very similar to those of identity theft victims.

So I started this website with the aim of passing on a little knowledge and experience and, hopefully, preventing a few people from falling victim to these crimes. I really hope that there is something on these pages that is useful to you.

Please just take the warnings on these pages seriously. Becoming a victim of many of the crimes discussed on these pages is a very expensive, time consuming and flat-out horrible experience. Don't let it be you.

On that note, I wish you good fortune and hope that this site will become your one-stop resource for information about the ways to prevent identity theft.
