As an ex-New Yorker who has been mugged, pick pocketed and burgled (yes, that’s a word) I’m little more cautious than most people. My kids and my husband all think that I am paranoid. What do they know? They all grew up in a sleepy beach town where the biggest crime  around here is no surf.

Over the years I have learned to relax a little and just when I was starting to let my guard down,  Paul and I were the victims of cyber crime. Our credit card numbers were stolen, most likely by some wait server in a restaurant, but our cards remained with us, so we didn’t know until it was too late that we had been victimized. Next thing I knew, we were being charged for purchases made in countries we had not visited. Fortunately we caught it before it got out of hand, we were not responsible for the charges, but it was still a hassle dealing with canceling the cards and getting new ones. I couldn’t help but wonder I could have done to prevent it from happening again. I searched online and found a solution with IdentityHawk. They are the leaders in identity theft protection. Now I feel secure in the knowledge that my personal identity, property and assets are safeguarded from online predator and thieves.
