What we all really need to fear is those geeks who steel identities. Had that done to me. What a nightmare. They got my identity NOT by accident, well sort of, but by a computer glitch between a bank and a telemarketing group. It took me EIGHT blankety blank years to get it straightened out... OYE VEY!
It is easy to get someone else's identity. Don't photocopy your id at kinkos. Make sure and shred your bank statements. NEVER let someone photocopy or scan your ID at the doctors office, grocery store, etcetera. JUST DON'T. DO NOT give your social security number over the phone EVER and don't post your birthdate or mother's maiden name (or use it as a secret code to get your password) on the internet! EVER, EVER, EVER.
The computer hard drives in photocopy machines are not taken out or wiped on copy machines when they are sold.
