A significant increase in identity fraud in 2009, highlights the need for greater consumer awareness when it comes to avoiding scams and identity theft. Identity theft and fraud are threats that can impact anyone – no one is immune. "Know who you are dealing with online, and never give out personal information to someone you don’t know, says Fred Liebau CEO of Bulwark Software.
Identity theft can happen through phishing scams, stolen wallets, or hacking into your computer system. Victims of identity theft may be denied loans for education or housing because of their bad credit reports and can even be arrested for crimes they didn't commit. Make sure you take the proper safeguards for preventing identity theft. Here are some online tips to prevent id theft:
# Install a firewall on your home computer to prevent hackers from accessing personal information from your hard drive
# Install and update virus protection software
# Never respond to phishing emails
# When shopping online, only give your credit card information to companies with strong security protection
