<p><strong>Keep Your Safeguard Against Bank Identity Theft Firm</strong></p>
<p>One of the unique challenges of living in a digital age is the risk of <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link/4099312']);" href="http://cyberidentitytheft.info/bs9" target="_self" title="bank identity theft">bank identity theft</a>. Every day more and more people are choosing to shop on the internet and transfer money in the same fashion. The internet has opened new possibilities for every person in the world but it has also introduced us to new dangers. There are a number of things you can do to protect you and your family from bank identity theft.</p>
<p>Identity theft is a problem of epidemic proportions. Just in America alone there has been  billion stolen each year. It&#8217;s average and everyday people who suffer from this digital crime.      </p>
<p>First, make sure you are shredding any type of identifying document. If something has your birth date on it or your social security number, do not just merely toss it into the wastebasket. Shredding is the only truly safe way to keep your personal account information away from the greedy hands of thieves.</p>
<p>When you shop online, use only web sites which are safe and secure. You will be able to tell if a web site is secure because a little lock will appear in your URL bar or in one of the corners of the screen. Give yourself the peace of mind which comes with knowing you are doing business online safely.</p>
<p>Computer experts say you should never be without up to date anti-virus software. This is one of the easiest steps to take in ensuring the security of your financial information and protecting your assets from bank identity theft. It is a good investment to buy this software and its updates.</p>
<p>Another effective thing to do is to talk to your financial institution or credit union about what protection options are available as a service to you. Most of these institutions are actively fighting against <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link/4099312']);" href="http://cyberidentitytheft.info/tox" target="_self" title="bank identity theft">bank identity theft</a>. If you are vigilant in keeping yourself protected and if you follow these steps and many more like them, you will minimize your risk of identity theft. </p>

We want to make sure you don&#8217;t become a victim of such theft. When your shopping online make sure that the website is secure with a little lock in the URL. We have more information for you.</p>

<p>Like lots of people I&#8217;m sure, I am often bothered by scammers who call me up once or twice a week, and try to scare me into paying for dodgy services with various lies involving malware on my PC. Basically it&#8217;s the phone version of the old Spy Sherrif internet scams. Lately I have just taken to wasting their time whenever they&#8217;re daft enough to try phoning me.<br />

<p><strong><i>Question by oakviewfarm1@verizon.net</i>: Who do I report fraud mail to, trying to get into my bank and private accounts via myemail,tryingtotakeadvanta</strong><br />
I would like to report email &#8220;scams&#8221; and get these people in trouble with the law.  and off the webb ,   Thank You</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by depym</i><br/>If you use yahoo  then -<br />
1.Open your mail look at the bottom right hand where you will see full headers.<br />
2.Copy the full headers and then Press forward.<br />
3. After the mail opens in forward paste the full headers.<br />
4. Next open a new link in another tab for ip address finder.I find http://lacnic.net/cgi-bin/lacnic/whois? good as it gives worldwide addresses. Lacnic is for South America, Arin for North America,Apnic for Asia Pacific region ,AfriNIC for Africa and Ripe for Europe/Russia.<br />
5. Next in the from field of the full headers you will find the IP Address of the sender.Copy and Paste it in the field next to search and press search.<br />
6. Under the search findings you will find the address of the internet provider and also the Report Spam. Usually it is abuse@&#8230;&#8230;..com or net.<br />
7. Copy and paste this link in the &#8216;To &#8216; field. Also check the link in the email msg of the spammer. Sometimes they will give an address to write to. If it is yahoo then you can also send the same to abuse@yahoo.com or abuse @ google/gmail, abuse@msn/hotmail etc<br />
You will get a reply that action has been taken against the sender.<br />
Sometimes spammers use ip addresses which are from China or anywhere in the world with no Report Spam. Then I just click Spam and dont waste time in trying to find out the ip addresses.<br />
All mailboxes have a full header option where the the ip address is shown.<br />
You can send them back a msg without using your mail address. This site is called Spam It Back. Get spammers back, and send your own message once, a thousand times, &#8230; The more people using this software, the more effective it is in stopping spam. &#8230;www.spamitback.com/ -</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by TOOTAl2</i>: is this a scam &#8220;u.s. bank alert (card blocked) for more info please call 1-877-388-6436&#8243;?</strong><br />
This was a text message on my cell phone I dont know how U.S. bank got my cell number  I idont give my cell phone number out and i dont have a account at U.S. Bank.</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by MyOpinion</i><br/>Yes it is a scam.  You should alert US Bank just so they know it is going on.  The deal is you call this 877 number (or it&#8217;s what they want to happen) and you give them your bank account info before you realize what you have done and then the wipe out your account.</p>
<p>I have had bank accounts compromised so many times it is unreal and I have yet to have an account at any of them.   Mine have all come thru email.</p>
<p>I have reprted every one of them.  Except Pay Pal and I get so many of them I just ignore them.  And I have never had anything to do with Pay Pal in my life.</p>
<p>They are just trying to trick you into giving them some info.  People see something like that message and freak out and call and give out all this info about themselves without realizing what they are doing.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think? Answer below!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by peachy78</i>: What is up with the flood of &#8220;Nigerian bank scam&#8221; emails lately?!?</strong><br />
You know, those emails that say &#8220;urgent please help&#8221; or something similar, and it&#8217;s always the spouse or family member of a deceased wealthy person, and the relative needs your help transferring a huge sum of money to an American bank, and for your assistance you supposedly get a share of the profits. I know it&#8217;s a scam but my question is, would there be any particular reason that I&#8217;m getting 3 or 4 a week now?? Do they keep thinking I&#8217;m going to eventually fall for it? Have any of you experienced the same? (I have Yahoo! email.) Just wondered.</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by Wilhemina</i><br/>I have been getting those for a long time. Not on Yahoo, but my Hotmail account.</p>

<p><strong><i>Question by hollyrub</i>: In cases of credit card fraud, is there a dollar amount before the bank calls in law enforcement?</strong><br />
A relative may of committed credit card fraud and I was wondering if the bank would ask that the debt be paid, or drop the issue at a certain dollar amount, or have law enforcement intervene.  If law enforcement was to get involved, what would they typically do?</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by ibu guru</i><br/>If the &#8220;mistake&#8221; is paid in full promptly, the bank will probably let it go.  Not paying promptly is generally considered confirmation of fraud.  Banks are becoming far more aggressive in collecting these days &#8212; they have to.</p>
<p>Each bank determines their own criteria for pursuing fraud charges.  And they are disinclined to discuss or publicize those criteria for obvious reasons.  But banks (and other lenders) are definitely pursuing criminal charges on much smaller amounts than they did a year or two ago.  And they are pushing prosecutors/district attorneys much harder to go after these.</p>
