Identity theft

**onlineexperts** · 03-13-2007

There is a report that in 2006, 36% of consumer complaints are idnetity theft. It just goes to show that credit card companies and others as such should provide better securities for their client's own sake.

It clears states that the technical part of these system have flaws
instead of correcting the existin system they can bring a better system that is more or less flawless

Yeah but who's gonna listen to us. They are just concerned with earning more and more. Once they start attracting more traffic and customers they intend to avoid all consumer request.

I agree, I don't think that they would think ways of giving a better and safer system. Maybe one good solution to this is a large competition for this companies. If a new company would rise up and provide better security and service, the other companies will just as well follow them and provide same or even better services.

Yes it is the customers responsibility they have to try to keep their identity secure if they dont its their own fault

I agree with colm17. Identity theft could have been likely linked to the customer themselves.

Customers could have avoided getting their credentials being phished (a.k.a. identity theft), if they were to be more weary of what they do.
One such example is phishing sites. If they were to notice anything that seems out of the ordinary in a particular site that looks like the actual one, they shouldn't proceed with providing their information.

I believe that if you look down in the corner the little padlock should be there and locked for "indication" that your transfer is secure.
And for anyone I highly suggest you do not type in your social security number online to these so called companies that want to check and see if it is already being used. No no.
I hope this is helpful.
