Identity theft is growing in alarming proportions. Avoid being the next victim...

 

When I need information about identity theft, I can always count on the FTC website.  They have a whole section for people who are researching or writing about identity theft.  Today I found a nifty tool from OnGuard Online:  The ID Theft Faceoff.  It's a quiz that tests your knowledge of ID theft.  The quiz itself is not a comprehensive training tool, but it's fun to see if you get all the questions right- and get your face back…you'll see what I mean ;)

The main identity theft area for consumers is here and this is the page I'm talking about for you information hounds.

Phishing is one of the most common ways that people can try to steal your identity.  Watch the video below to learn more about it.

This is good stuff, don't wait until you've been burned.  Educate yourself now.

About sharondavis

Let's see, it's so hard to try to define yourself on these things.  First of all, I'm a mom.  I have two beautiful daughters, 17 and 11.


I work out of my home on the gorgeous Mendocino coast in Northern California.  In fact, the picture on the top of this blog is one that I took when my brother-in-law gave me a plane ride.  So, that's where I live.


I started 2Work-At-Home.com back in 1999 shortly after moving here from Southern California.  Before that, I worked in retail as a District Manager and Regional Trainer.


I enjoy playing guitar, music!!, reading, cooking, world travel and sometimes playing video games on our PS2.
