Recently, I received a call from my bank informing me that my account had been compromised and that I had to go pick up a new ATM card. I am sure you or someone you know has experienced something similar. It is unnerving to think that thieves can operate so smoothly and have access to our personal information. It was a relief that the bank caught the unauthorized transactions, but this sort of thing happens all the time. In fact, over the years, thieves have become more and more sophisticated in their tactics, placing identity theft as one of the fastest growing crimes in Canada. So, it is important that we are aware of our vulnerabilities and how best to safeguard against them.
In a recent article called “What is Identity Theft?”in the latest Cowan newsletter – Health, Wealth and Wisdom, there are very useful prevention tips that we all should know and follow. No one wants to be a victim.
