Recommend an advanced search for previous threads. I know we have discussed. Over in England and can't search effectively at this hotel.

I used Zander Insurance for my identity theft protection. It has coverage for my entire family and very reasonable over the cost of lifelock. It's what dave ramsey recommends. I also got my home and auto insurance through them and saved a ton of money over what I was paying State Farm.

I would start with a 'credit freeze' on yourself(spouse if applicable) with the 3 credit reporting organizations. You can do this yourself, minimal costs.

After that set up 'alerts' online with your credit card accounts.

Then be sure and check statements & transactions routinely.

I would add that a third-party monitoring system that also watches over your health insurance accounts might be warranted if you are on Medicare. The issue there is that Medicare uses your SS# as your ID for all services -- so it is out there with doctors offices personnel, pharmacies, etc. Medical insurance fraud is growing as a form of identity theft.

The Medicare ID will be changing for that reason. Expect lots of mistakes during the transition.

identity protection is a myth

really, think about it...

as long as you have one connected device or one internet presence, your identity is at risk

There is no _absolute_ identity protection. But even though there is no absolute fire protection, it's still a good idea to put fire extinguishers around the house, keep the spare gas in tight containers and get insurance. Wink
