Identity thieves run rampant during the holidays. But now, in a recession, they're drooling at the mouth hoping to catch you too busy and frantic to watch your wallet or purse. They're also looking for every opportunity to get at your mailbox. Be extra-vigilant during Christmas shopping season!
Give your wallet or purse and extra tap and look when shopping. If anything looks or feels suspicious, trust your gut.
Have a safe and Merry Christmas!

Disguise your identity to prevent identity theft!
Disguise your identity to prevent identity theft!
I logged into my online banking account the other day and generated a "disguise" for my credit card so I could purchase something online. I was able to very easily generate an alternate credit card number that I gave to the merchant so they could charge my credit card account. In seconds I had a "disguised" credit card number!
Creating a disguise for my credit card protected my "real" credit card number from being "exposed" to the merchant, keeping my credit card number private! The process was identical and I received my purchase flawlessly!
MasqMe, the Identity Masquerade offers that same type of privacy, BUT for your Social Security Number! MasqMe disguises your identity so not to expose it unnecessarily during credit checks for new cellphones, cars, houses, apartments..whatever. Keep your Social Security Number private at all times! Now, you don't have to give it to anyone for those important purchases in life. Give them your on-demand temporary disguise!

Privacy and my Social Security Number
What is identity theft anyway? Identity theft is the theft of your identity. If my identity is prone to theft, wouldn't my primary objective be, to keep my identity private, from all exposure? Of course. The problem is, we're not treating our identities like our money. We don't let anyone know how much we have in our little piggies now do we. But, when we need a car, a cellphone, car or apartment, we stuck giving it out.
Now, you might be comfortable with that. I'm not. I never have been. I prefer keeping my data private. Now, there are those cases and entities that by law, require knowledge of my SSN. In those cases, I concede. But, please...anyone, try convincing me that a car salesman needs to know my social, just so he can type into a web site to pull my credit. Anyone?? Anyone?? No one can make the case. So, I choose MasqMe, the identity masquerade! With their system, I can generate a temporary disguise that expires mind you, that they will use inplace of my Social Security Number. It's perfect. I don't have to share it, yet the salesguy gets my credit report and can approve or deny me based on my credit score and history...simple and easy. The merchant logs into their account at http://www.masqme.com/ to look my disguise up..clean simple and private...
More people need to take MasqMe's security seriously. I'm so serious about the privacy of my ID, that it's the first thing I ask for... "Do you check credit through MasqMe?" If they don't I ask them to, or leave...

Don't check credit without it!
