How I Know So Much About Identity Theft – How a Business Became a Passion

Written on November 3, 2009 – 6:44 am | by admin

Let me level with you:I am a writer and businessman, not a law enforcement professional. Most law enforcement personnel expert in identity theft are busy tracking it down and fighting the good fight against a crime that will claim ten million new victims this year alone. They do not have time to write articles about it.

They chase down the scumbags and criminals that tear people’s lives apart at the seams. Iget the word out and try to convince people to be smart and protect themselves. I’m not sure who has the harder job, the cops or me. For whatever reason some people do not seem to get the old saying that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” There are people out there who have read my articles and not acted on them. When one of those people finds out the hard way that identity theft is a real threat, it’s on them.They had the information.I did my little part to help them protect themselves.

Anyway, to answer the question that someone recently asked, “How do you know so much about identity theft?” I want to give the most honest answer I can. Here it is:

It started as a business. That’s right. Isee a need, and I fill it. Ifound a great product, and Isaw that a lot of people needed it. Frankly, I did not know the first thing about identity theft just a couple of months before I wrote my first article on the topic. That is the businessman in me.

To do this business properly, I read a lot and talked to a lot of people, including law enforcement agents, to learn as much as I could about this crime. The more I learned, the more passionate I became not so much about the product that I promote but about the fact that I am doing a lot of good in promoting it. This is a pervasive crime. It wrecks lives. Worst of all, it is hard to catch and often goes on for years. Undoing the damage can take years as well.

The good guys (that’s you and me) need to do everything we can to stop it, and every little bit helps. I’m doing my part. Are you?
