How Did They Steal My Identity?


Identity thieves are growing more sophisticated and intelligent in their means of stealing your precious identity.  That innocent grandmother standing behind you in line may just be skimming your shoulder, waiting to victimize your identity.  Or, that interesting single sending you risqué IMs could really be an identity thief, waiting to wreak havoc on your financial standing.
