Like many people these days, I’m interested in protecting myself from identity theft and the problems that result . There are always con artists who are trying to find out somebody’s bank account number, etc . If somebody has my information, could they empty out my bank account long distance ? My question might interest a lot of other people besides myself, so it’s worth asking . How can I protect myself from identity theft ? Thank you in advance for your answers .

My facebook profile is currently set on private, but i would like to switch it to public

What general advice can you give me to avoid problems and to protect myself?

I don’t have information such as credit card numbers or social security number out there, or my adress or even what town i live in. Also I don’t have pictures that show too much skin or pictures of my partying hard. I am in my early 20’s by the way..

So what do you think I should do to protect myself even if my profile is on public?

We are moving and my car was broken into. They stole my wallet, which had my sons’ social security cards, and my old one with my maiden name and my new one. They also ended up with my routing and account number, but I closed the account. They had my ID too, but that was mailed back to me from across the state. I am afraid they will open accounts in my sons’ names, since they have all the information needed. How do I file a identity theft/fraud alert for free?
