There’s an old expression: just because you’re paranoid, it doesn’t mean someone isn’t out to get you.
And let’s face it, the past twelve months have given us plenty of reason to worry.
Who could ever imagine a time when going to a store could seriously impair your health?
Before COVID-19, one of the biggest concerns amongst retirees was cybercrime.
The thought of someone stealing your identity and racking up debt in your name is a valid concern.
We do live in a different age, and even if you limit your online activity, your information is out there.
Perhaps the easiest way to counter this threat is by subscribing to a credit protection company like Lifelock or Identity Guard. For about $20 a month, these companies will notify you if anyone (even you) attempts to apply for credit in your name. You can even freeze your credit, preventing any new accounts from opening.
To learn about these protection services, feel free to contact me: 513-563-PLAN (7526) or book online here.
