Is identity theft protection worth it?
Just like any other type of insurance you might have, the cost of not having identity theft insurance far exceeds the cost of your premium.
The potential monetary loss, legal fees, and stress caused by your identity being stolen can impact your life and stability in a significant way. In a time when personal information is so vulnerable, it makes sense to set yourself up with protection for the worst case scenario.
How does identity theft happen?
Common methods include:
- “Dumpster diving” in trash bins for credit card statements.
- Stealing from unlocked mailboxes to get pre-approved credit offers and newly issued credit cards, utility bills, bank and credit card statements, investment reports, insurance statements, benefits documents, or tax information.
- Fraudulently accessing credit files by posing as a loan officer, employer, or landlord.
- Stealing personal data from online sources, such as public records and fee-based information sites.
