February 1st through 5th is Identity Theft Awareness Week 2021, brought to you by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). We hope to use this opportunity to help you up your security game!
Identity Theft grows to be a greater concern each and every year. The more we intertwine our everyday lives with technology, the more opportunity thieves have to access your information. In 2020 (and continuing into 2021), we all faced many unique challenges. COVID-19 upended all of our lives and many of us faced hardships. Identity thieves didn’t take it easy on Americans just because of a pandemic. Instead, they used it to add new scams and schemes to their arsenal. Some of the newest scams included Coronavirus stimulus scams, employment scams and COVID-19 vaccine scams. Now, more than ever, we all need to tighten up on our security in order to protect ourselves and our families.
Your security is important. Your information holds the key to much of what you hold dear. For someone to obtain your information illegally, it could mean financial and mental hardship. You need someone who has your back in case you become a victim of identity theft. Subscribing to an identity theft restoration service, such as ReclaimMyID, will provide you with someone to put in the time and effort to get your identity restored to 100% of its pre-theft status. Having an identity theft restoration service on your side can save you hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars.
We hope that you use Identity Theft Awareness Week 2021 as the impetus to safeguard your information and stay up to date with the latest scams and schemes.
