You know, I hear this ALL THE TIME -- yet, I've never met a single person who has actually suffered from "identity theft". snip About five years ago a perp opened up a cell phone account in my name but in another time zone. Rang up $3,500 worth of charges before the account was closed for non-payment. I caught it by checking my credit report, which showed this as a collection agency item. However, after I disputed the problem with the credit reporting bureau, the collection agency got my current address and went after me directly via harassing phone calls and certified letters. When I invoked the "Fair Credit Act" legalize on them, they simply sold the debt to another sleaze bag outfit who started the process all over again. It took me four years and legal action on my part to put this item to rest. .... and I consider my experience very fortunate when I read those of other identity theft victims. -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

Do you know anyone that has been murdered? Jay Honeck replied: Nope. And if I did, how would this be relevant? I think that Dashi is trying to make a point by analogy. Your not knowing any murder victims doesn't counter that fact that murders do occur. By parallel, your not knowing (at the time; see Ben Sego's post) any identity theft victims doesn't counter the fact that identity theft does occur. It's a weak argument to an implied statement on your part (I don't know any identity theft victims, therefore I doubt that identity theft occurs). Russell Kent |

For several years I too used my real name and e-mail address, however last year the amount of spam that I receive as a result of that policy started to increase to unacceptable proportions. After a three week period, having cleared my mail box on my ISP's server I found over 1200 spam emails addressed to my; that's in only 3 weeks. This promped me to change my working address and use every method that I could think of to prevent that from attracting spam. The only spam that I get now is through several NG's, uk.rec.aviation is the worst amoung the ng's I read. Last week I checked my old address mail box, there were so many messages that mailwasher was unable to handle the quantity, I shall have to ask my ISP to clean out my mail box as I don't want to bother spending the time myself. -- --- Cheers, Jonathan Lowe. / don't bother me with insignificiant nonsence such as spelling, I don't care if it spelt properly / Sometimes I fly and sometimes I just dream about it. :-) I *really* enjoy the new Visa commercials, with the guy's voice-over on the little old lady -- they're hilarious and really get the point across about the risks of identity theft. However, they *are* trying to sell a product, and (as a result) the cynic in me rises to the fore. I just have to wonder if this whole "identity theft" thing isn't a product of Madison Avenue, once again trying to fan the flames of our own paranoia, in an effort to sell us something? Does anyone know a real person who has suffered this fate? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" What you must be more concerned with is giving out that information which is NOT readily available and which can be used to obtain phoney documents. This includes your social security number, place of birth, drivers license numbers, credit card numbers, passwords, and other personal information. Even that may not be enough to protect you from identity theft but in that case, nothing may be. My best advice is to never give out personal information unless you are absolutely sure of who you are giving it tol. An example, never give you credit card number to someone who calls YOU or to any other solicitation that you receive such as an email reply. If you buy something over the phone or over the internet, make sure you searched out the item and not the other way around. Even then, double check the vendor.
