IDES Fraud — and I was so careful!

By Terry Savage on February 15, 2021 | Wild Card

Dear Terry,
I zealously guard my personal information, yet I found out on Friday that I am a victim of IDES fraud. How do they get my information and what is my life going to be like in the future ? I’ve read your article on this subject, but I’m at a loss as to where to begin to fix this. Please advise me what to do.
Thank you.

It’s a horrible sinking felling when you realize you’ve been the victim of identity theft — especially when you were being careful. But remember those data breaches at Equifax and at major department store chains? that’s likely how your info got out there on the “dark web.”
Here’s how to deal with it. Read this article — and take it step by step, using these links!
