IDENTITY THEFT PROTECTION FOR DUMMIES



This is why I carry a camera with me most of the time. If not just my cell phone, my handy dandy Kodak HD V1073.

I am in the local Walmart the other day and I saw some pretty interesting things. One that caught my attention was a product basically calling us " Dummies " We've all heard of the wonderful products stemming from the " For Dummies" people. Well this one took the cake. It deserves to have a small article written about it.

Identity theft as we all know is on the rise, I mean it's not hard to figure out that people will go through your trash to get your info. That's why the shredder is NOW a common household item. This product brought to you by the " For Dummies " group has called us out on being LAZY & CARELESS. I recommend that if you do purchase this item, it better be in the middle of the night. I wouldn't want anyone thinking I didn't know how to protect my vital information.

INSIDE THE BOX:
(1) One ULTRA quiet microcut shredder for the ULTIMATE in document security. It cuts one page into 2235 pieces. ( WOW )
(4) Check fraud prevention pens ( DOUBLE WOW ) Basically non erase ink, ink pens.
(1) Book on how to prevent identity theft.
(1) 90 DAY trial of LifeLock* ( LifeLock is basically a credit monitoring service that provides an ironclad $1,000,000.00 guarantee that even if someone gets your vital info they will insure you up to $1,000,000 in fraud right offs. However they will still have your vital info. WHICH if I remember correctly is why we bought this package to begin with, RIGHT ?

It just amazes me how carefree we have become with our information. I don't know about you, but I don't even have my paystubs, bank statements, or credit card statements come in the mail anymore. I save tree's. I view it all online.
