Holy shit, about 11.1 million adults were victim of identity theft in 2009. Want to check it out? http://www.privacyrights.org/ar/idtheftsurveys.htm Even though I am one person out of millions I must say it sucks. I have had my credit card number stolen before but this time it's the extreme, my SSN. I know it is serious business, but I really don't feel like going through this process. If your identity gets stolen here are the steps you must take:
Call the IRS for about two hours
Fill out a police report
Write a detailed letter of what happened
Make copies of government issued proof of identification
Send all of this to a given address
Just a hassle to protect a number assigned to me for the government to keep tabs on my life, great...
Anyway, the moral of this story, in a weird way I feel I have been robbed of a small part of my identity so this interference on my life sparked me to start a blog and give you all a little insight to my real life, before the imposter out there trying to be me does.
Hope you enjoy!
