10 Top Identity Theft Prevention Tips
The following pages detail the top 10 identity theft prevention tips. Whilst there are criminals and thieves trying to locate and steal from us, we need to do all we can to protect ourselves.
The pages of this section will explain how any individual can make themselves a harder target and therefore, hopefully, unappealing to a fraudster.
Remember, there are very few ways that an individual can guarantee anything in life and ensuring that you or I cannot be a target is not really possible. The only guarantee that we can think of is to have such a poor credit rating that no ID fraudster would want to impersonate us. Becoming a bankrupt does seem a little extreme to us though!
