IS IDENTITY THEFT REALLY A PROBLEM?
Or is it an abuse?
NO ONE IS IMMUNE!
Identity theft is...
the act of stealing or using your identity (or any personal information), without your knowledge or consent, to purchase goods and services or to commit fraud or other criminal acts "InYour Good Name"...
Sadly, most people are either misinformed or have a misconception of what identity theft is and what effects it can have on you.
Picture this...If identity theft was described as a board game with two people playing - one a thief and the other is you. The only one playing to win would be the thief. Truth is... you don't even realize you are playing. That is identity theft.
IF IT IS ABOUT CHANGING HABITS... DO YOU KNOW WHICH HABITS NEED CHANGING?
Answer this: Do you know what thieves are looking for? Do you know how thieves obtain your information? Do you know how thieves use your information? Do you know what types of identity theft there are?
Do you know how little of your information is enough for a thief to get started "being you"? Do you know how long it takes before you discover that you have become a victim? Do you know how long it takes to repair the damage that a thief will do to your character, reputation and to your good name? Do you know what steps to take if you have become a victim of identity abuse? Would you even know where to begin?
Are you the ONLY YOU there is? If you had to... could you prove that you are "NOT YOU"?
Where does the responsibility of law enforcement, financial institutions and insurance end and your responsibility begin?
These are only a few points of what you will learn from our programs. Learn to protect the identity of yourself, your family and your business!
Identiity thieves may target:
Children and students Seniors and elderly Deceased - young and old Average people Small or medium businesses Data from large corporations
85% of Canadian victims did not know until well after the act took place 72% of Canadians are concerned about ID theft - ARE YOU?
Remember - Most people are not aware of what ID theft can do to them and their family, not only financially, but also emotionally. Most people have no idea of the variety that IDENTITY THEFT can take. Thus, the reason for this website and for the seminar series. Victims feel emotionally robbed of their dignity. It takes emotional tolls beyond our understanding and comprehension. Some have even described it as being emotionally raped.
DID YOU KNOW?
2/3rds of IDENTITY THEFT is not only about financial or internet related fields, instead it is involving your Driver’s Licence, Medical Files, Social Insurance Cards, Passport, Children’s Identity, Your Character and Good Name, "Ghosting" and creating new identities using your information of for any reason they have to “clone” you. Many times your information can find itself going around the world while you stay home sleeping.
Most valuable tip of them all…
Do not fall into the trap of believing that you are safe, therefore it can’t happen to you.
