Whats the first clue that someone may be trying to steal my identity?
Your first due may be a letter or call from a collection agency or store, wanting payment for goods you’ve never heard of. To prevent that scenario, keep an eye on your credit history. You can do this with a monitoring service, such as privacyGuard. They can notify you whenever someone applies for credit in your name or checks your credit history, so you can see if the activity is legitimate.
