ABOUT IDENTITY THEFT . INFO
About www.IdentityTheft.info
IdentityTheft.info staff
Our staff of identity theft experts strives to present the latest and most relevant identity theft articles, identity theft news, commentary and ID theft videos.

Our staff (under the guidance of Rob Douglas) follows and presents ID theft related legislation, identity theft services, scams, credit card fraud and security breaches / data breaches. We additionally offer ways to protect yourself and your family from becoming victims of identity theft.

We take identity protection seriously, as a theft of identity can result in not only great financial loss and loss of time in order to repair the damage done, but could end in permanent medical damage or death (see our medical identity theft section).

We are proponents of the credit freeze / security freeze option available to consumers at the three major credit bureaus as a way to prevent identity theft. Although the credit freeze is not a total identity theft prevention method it does prevent many types of ID theft and our identity theft experts believe it is the best option available to consumers at this time.

If you are already a victim of ID theft our identity theft experts provide tips on how and where to report identity theft as well as important other steps you should consider taking.

All of the ID theft research and content at www.IdentityTheft.info is written or compiled by identity theft experts for consumption by journalists, lawmakers, and consumers and is edited by Rob Douglas our chief editor and identity theft expert.
