New Tool Shields the Public from Identity Theft
Summary
Gone are the days when guarding your personal information meant merely keeping an eye out for pickpockets. In today’s digital era, identity theft has become a sophisticated threat.Article Body
Protecting your personal and financial information used to be as simple as watching out for pickpockets. However, in our technology-driven world, identity theft has evolved into a sophisticated menace. Despite harsh penalties, including up to 20 years in prison, identity theft is now the fastest-growing crime in the nation, according to the FBI, affecting over 10 million people annually.Thieves exploit their victims' identities to open bank and credit card accounts, secure loans, and even obtain employment under false names. While credit reports can alert you to unauthorized credit card use or applications in your name, they often miss crucial information. Harold Kraft, CEO of MyPublicInfo Inc., suggests that what individuals really need is a comprehensive background check on themselves.
“A while back, I had the chance to run a background check on myself. I wanted to see what potential employers, landlords, or insurers could find out about me,” Kraft explained. “I was shocked to discover 55 pages of data spanning 30 years! This wasn't just a credit check; it was a detailed background check with information beyond what's on a credit report.”
For about $80, MyPublicInfo offers a Public Information Profile (PIP), a detailed summary compiled from billions of public records, including federal, state, and county data, government licenses, and law enforcement records. Though much of this information is publicly accessible, gathering it independently would be a daunting task. The PIP consolidates this data into a single, easy-to-read report, making it the only tool of its kind currently available to consumers.
“Whenever we engage in public transactions?"buy a house, claim insurance, open a utility account, get married?"these actions become part of our permanent personal background records,” Kraft said. “This information can significantly influence your ability to secure a job or obtain insurance. Erroneous information could indicate you’re a victim of mistaken identity or an identity crime.”
With identity theft on the rise, tools like the PIP are crucial in equipping individuals to protect themselves from potential threats.
