    Think Twice About Identity Theft

    If you think identity theft happens only to other people, think twice.

    I woke up to that the reality that anyone could be a victim of identity theft when my son called and told me he was notified of suspicious activity on his credit card. He lives in California and the charges occurred in Washington, a state he had never visited before.
