I very worried about credit card security and that people in this country can use credit cards that are not in their name. So I would like to make it impossible for anyone to get a credit card in my name. I would like to have something on the record that no credit card should be issued in my name unless my ID is veryfied in person. I read about credit freeze, but it seems that this does not protect completely. I also read about placing a fraud alert, but can I do that just as prevention? Without an actual identity theft having taken place? Is there one agency I can contact or do I have to contact every single credit card company?

Recently my daughter became the victim of identity theft. I like to call it hijacking.

Over $1000 gone from her chequeing account…

I’m pretty sure I have seen a few ads for jobs which are just a ploy to get personal into for identity theft.

What kinds of scams have you seen and what should I look out for?

I received a strange email stating that I’m a beneficiary to millions. I’ve heard of many scams wanting money. But, not giving it away. They asked for my name, number, address, occupation, age and my Drivers license. I’m not falling for it. However, If this is some sort of scam or Identity theft gathering, how does one report this?
