Social Security Number Privacy Identity Theft

Your Social Security Number Privacy Identity Theft concerns are not to be taken lightly. You see, the Government has started to feel the effects of Social Security Number Fraud through Identity Theft.

"House Committee on Ways and Means Approves H.R. 2971, the Social Security Number Privacy and Identity Theft Prevention Act of 2004" Quoted from SocialSecurity.Gov

Identity Theft Statistics - And how you are at risk every single day....

This law was passed in 2004 because they understand what most people do not. Identity Theft is the fastest growing crime in the world and criminals want everything about your identity that they can get their hands on. It no longer is just about your credit card number. The criminals could care less about that now as they know there are more "Valuable" parts of your identity to steal.

Criminals want your Social Security Benefits, Your Employment Background so they can get a job using your history, your Medical Insurance - so they can get health care and treatments for diseases and/or cancers and soo much more.

Social Security Identity theft just causes one more issue. Criminals want to take your social security info and file for social security, claim your checks, and then you get busted as it looks like you are scamming the system because you claimed Social Security and you are healthy and still holding down a job. Good luck clearing your name over the next couple of years and $1,000 out of your pocket. It will probably hang around forever and when it comes time that you need it, it probably will not be there.

See the ways families are protecting themselves from Social Security Number Privacy Identity Theft and start protecting yourselves today.
