Credit and debit card fraud has grown more than 25 percent in the past year!

Gas prices, food prices, energy costs and entertainment has been drastically increasing over the past few years but now are causing us all to change how we live on a daily basis. Because of these increases you are probably banking online, paying bills online or buying products and services online. If these activities are changing your life right now you should be very concerned about the criminal element residing within the online communities, social networks and hiding inside other people's computers.

Credit card companies and major banks consistently tell you that you do not have to worry...they’ve got it covered. How about those different types of commercials telling you that these financial entities and database storage companies have installed new software or hardware and that you’re information is now totally protected? If this is true, why then are the losses continually growing out of control?

An estimated $67 Billion of losses in 2006; and that is just what the industry decides to tell us! What about 2007 statistics? Most of those are not available yet. Identity Theft is also on a meteoric rise. Just this past year (2007) the Federal Trade Commission fielded more than 600,000 complaints from consumers. One in Seven adults reported being victimized by Credit Card Fraud or Identity Theft in 2007. The most recent statistics reveal that if you are a victim of Identity Theft or Credit-Debit Card Fraud, you will spend on average 105 hours and $1,800 dollars unwinding the problem. Do you or any of us have that kind of time? Do you know that organized crime, cyber thieves and terrorists just might have your information? Statistics show that it might not happen today, but it will happen sometime in your future.

How many federal employees does it take to resolve or investigate an Identity Theft complaint? Does the U.S. federal government have enough investigators in the FTC to even penetrate that back log of complaints? Who pays for the investigation? The tax payer, of course!
