Identity Theft-Are You Protected? Each of us has a unique identity – from the color of our hair, our facial expressions, records, history, family, education, social security number, drivers license, among others. What if you woke up one day and it was all gone or stolen? From one aspect this may be good since you can now be someone else. However, for the rest of us this is a problem that could impact our credit, potential for arrest, ability to travel or get proper medical treatment. What can you do and should do to prevent the loss of identity? Gary offers ways your identity can be lost plus pointers on avoiding a major loss. Identity theft will happen but there are ways to minimize the impact!
