Do people ever worry when their traveling what would happen if they
lost their credit cards or ID? That's what happened to me! I didn't
know who to call to report my cards stolen, or how to get a new
passport, or what to do to make sure someone didn't use my passport
and SSN to steal my identity!
There are lots of things you can do to make sure this doesn't happen
to you. The best way I found is to be prepared. There are free
services on the web that can help you protect yourself.
My favorite page is:
http://www.cardguardusa.com
On their site I used their free CardPages to create a list of all my
emergency contact numbers that I would need next time I lose any
important documents or credit cards. And I can access my CardPages
from anywhere via the internet.
Here are some other great pages I found that have some great
information on identity theft and fraud.
