I monitor my credit bureau account regularly. Doesn’t that eliminate my risk of identity fraud?
Although monitoring your credit bureau report is important, it’s actually the last warning you might receive before financial fraud is committed against you. And, even if you notify your creditors of the fraudulent use of your name, your original data stays in the possession of the identity thief — and could be used again. That’s why it’s so important to monitor both the Internet and your credit report.
