Tools to Protect You from Identity Theft

So here you are, all ready to travel, ready for that vacation, ready to get away. You have planned for this vacation, dreamed about this vacation, convinced your wife that this was the best of the best of vacation ideas. Kids are excited, the dog not so much, but the wife, she is really beaming. You and the entire family are ready for this vacation. Where are you going again? Jamaica? Cayman Islands? Does it really matter? You are on your way to that long awaited vacation.

So your bags are all packed. Sunscreen, shorts, bathing suits, passports, extra cash, you are ready. But are you truly ready? Are you forgetting something extremely crucial? Did you stop long enough to ask yourself about security?





One of the most prominent and present dangers to personal security is identity theft. Skimmers placed on ATMs, hackers at local WiFi hot spots, and more. The worst part of it all is the thieves are becoming increasingly more crafty. Their actions are becoming more covert as opposed to the overt methods of the past. Card skimming devices have become so portable that and identify thief can carry it in a backpack. All the identity thief has to do is walk past you, close enough  for the skimmer in the backpack to sense the credit card in your purse or wallet. That's all it takes. Just that quick, and your credit card information is now in the hands of someone who does not have your best interest at heart.

These identify thieves frequent areas where there is abundance of tourist. Most tourist are not scanning the area for possible security threats, they are more interested in that great deal from that street vendor, or getting to the next scheduled attraction. Indeed, for most tourist, the last thing on the mind is some sneaky home bred spy out to steal their precious identity.
