Actually been the subject of Identity theft? I have(well Actually my parents) anyways a couple of quick notes. They dont only go after the rich. Were in the true middle class on a good day. And to the best of my knowledge neither I nor any other parts of my family have ever entered credit card information from anywere besides the computer I'm typing from now, and the one in the other room. My parents were paranoid about this for years to so even before it happened they would shred or burn all sorts of diffrent documents we got in the mail. Luckily after a few large purchases we were notified by our credit union and the account was canceled, but in just over 2 hours some bastard got 5,000 dollars worth of electronics, gas, and movies using our cc.
On another note, when someone steals your identity, and rings up huge expenses, and you dont pay them because you didnt buy the stuff who pays it? Your bank or the store or uncle sam? How much money is wasted like this every year?
