I have a story for you! I have stories of identity theft, and the last one was a catfish that was really messed up. Three times it happened, which the first wasn’t bad, the second was a financial issue, and the last was almost a reason for divorce. We all NEED identity theft protection! Recently, I switched to Aura recently due to affordability and having everything under one roof. Let me explain.
Don’t let this happen to you
The first identity theft was when someone opened a Verizon account in my name. I reported the identity theft to the police, which they just suggested identity monitoring. A few months later, when I went to the bank, I found out someone called the bank and changed my account. They even ordered checks! They accessed my information AND my money. I felt violated and vulnerable. My bank account wasn’t linked to my fraud protection, which is why I like Aura.
I am 6 feet tall?
The most recent incident, someone used all of my information to create a Bumble account. My wife gets a message from a woman saying she has a date with me. They messaged back and forth, which my wife realized that it couldn’t be me. The thief put that I am 6 feet tall in the Bumble listing and that I was in Florida, which was a dead give-away that the account wasn’t me. I’ve been cyber-stalked before, but this is the first that infidelity was combined into the identity theft.
Protect yourself
Identity theft is scary, because it can be their word against theirs. You have to be able to prove it wasn’t you, and if you can’t, you’re screwed. It can happen to me, it can happen to you.
