Identity theft is not a big thing here in the Philippines. Sure, we worry about lost credit cards and driver’s license during a stolen bag or wallet, but that’s the worst thing we can think of. In the US, however, a stolen credit card, driver’s licenses or social security card is just the beginning of their problems. A site I visited recently called LifeLock reviews the different instances of identify theft and guarantees protection from each. This Life Lock Review is very straight forward and gives an idea, to even us Filipinos, on what’s happening out there. We may not yet have the benefit of guarantors with the level of protection detailed in the LifeLock Review but we can already get an idea of what to look out for and prepare ourselves better to prevent the loss of our good name from such a trivial thing as a stolen wallet.
