WEB GUIDE MAKES CREDIT CARDS USELESS TO THIEVES
WEB GUIDE MAKES CREDIT CARDS USELESS TO THIEVES
With holiday shopping on the increase, consumers need more protection against identity theft.
Every 79 seconds, a thief steals someone's credit card info, opens accounts in the victim's
name and goes on a buying spree.
Here's an example of how easy it is to become a victim. Bob received an e-mail that appeared to come from BestBuy.com's fraud department. The email stated that more than $700 worth of electronics might have been charged to his credit card.
Bob believed the message.
Following the e-mail's instructions, he clicked on a link that took him to what looked like the retailer's web page. He filled in the requested information: his credit-card numbers, Social Security number, even his mother's maiden name.
Bob made a crucial mistake.
The e-mail came not from BestBuy.com but from a still unknown scam artist looking to steal valuable personal information from unsuspecting consumers.
Now, Bob and thousands of others just like him, face the daunting chore of canceling cards, ordering credit reports and taking other steps to ensure their hijacked financial information doesn't cost them a fortune in fraud.
If only Bob had known the secret.
While researching a book on identity theft, writer Roger Arnell stumbled upon a secret that the credit reporting bureaus can utilize to make your credit cards useless to thieves.
That's right, USELESS TO THIEVES!
Why haven't you heard about this method? Why don't the credit bureaus publicize it?
Arnell knows the answer. He says "Because they would be inundated with requests and it would be inconvenient for business....their business!"
Arnell offers an eGuide "Make Your Credit Cards Useless To Thieves!" on his web site.
It contains complete information for protecting ALL of your credit cards. Your own use of
your current credit cards is NOT affected in any way!
