While we all hoped for less identity related fraud in 2016 it hasn't happened. According to Javelin Research, in their 2017 Identity Fraud Study, more than 15 million Americans (up 16 percent over 2015) fell victim to financial fraud made possible mostly through criminal use of stolen identity information.
You may be a recent victim of identity theft and are looking for protection from identity thieves who will likely attack again. Or you may be like the rest of us who are frightened at the prospect of becoming a victim. You may also be someone who is paying for what is purported to be identity theft protection believing these products actually offer protection from identity thieves. These products can only tell you once you have become a victim which means our only choice is to wait around until it is our turn to be attacked. Unfortunately, there is currently no solution that will protect any of us from an identity thief if the thief has enough information to impersonate us and steal from us.
The solution that will work is one that allows each of us to have our identity documents authenticated and available for viewing anywhere and anytime. Such a solution will make it impossible for an identity thief to impersonate you and steal from you. This solution is achievable and is fully explained in my book An Identity You Could Own. I'm not interested in making money selling this book which is why the cost is $.99 and is now available on Amazon and through Apple iBooks.
