A Different Perspective

(Full Disclosure: I sell a product related to this information.)

I’ve recently received an education on identity theft. Fortunately, it is not because my identity was stolen.

Burn out hit me at the end of 2008, and I just could not continue to have most of my work time be spent on a computer. I’m not one to spend 15 minutes talking to a client for every 10 hours of work by myself at a computer. I just can’t do it any longer.

So I’m going back to a business I was extremely happy with, and I only left because of HUGE life changes (divorce, going back to college, etc…). Once I graduated from college, I started doing web dev and pursuing acting and did not give my former business much of a thought.

Now I’m transitioning back into it full-time, and they’ve added a new product. Identity Theft Shield. It’s pretty amazing, but I thought people who paid for identity security products were just paranoid… until I started getting my education.

According to the FTC, half of all Americans in 2007 (2008 numbers not in yet) had their information compromised due to 446 major corporations having their information stolen. Just today, I see an article about another gigantic security breach.

“St. Louis-based Heartland Payment announced yesterday that hackers gained access to the machines it uses to process roughly 100 million credit card transactions every month. The company handles transactions for 175,000 separate businesses and bills itself as having “the highest standards” and “the most trusted transactions.” Despite that, the company has no idea how long its systems were being monitored, saying only that it was “longer than weeks.”

So as I said before, I sell an identity theft product. So take this information as coming from someone who could make a few bucks by pointing out such things.

I can honestly say whether you buy it from me or not, get Identity Theft coverage!

And my short little sales bit is this: If you are a victim of identity theft, we have experts which do the restoration for you. This is much better than the monitoring services your credit card companies, banks, or tv advertisements are pitching to you.
