Some of us are very careful to giving out our personal information to just anyone and most of these folks have never gotten their identity stole from them. Some people will freely give out information and trust everyone and these are the people that have to face identity theft on down the road. Even if you’re careful about giving out certain things like an address, telephone number or your social security number, the bad guys can still find ways to get their hands on it and hurt your credit score forever.

Sometimes we see commercials or a lot of advertising and we think that means a service or product is safe for consumers. This is a bad way of thinking and lots of advertising doesn’t equal safety. Just look at the freecreditreport.com people and look at all of the ads you see them on the computer, newspapers and even on television. Their credit report says “free”, but it’s actually not. This “free” service will cost you more than 14 dollars and if you don’t cancel it on your credit card, they will continue to charge you this each month. You will have to pay this fee if you want to see your “free” credit report and if you want to know about your credit history, the freecreditreport.com is not the guys you want delivering you the information.

You want to be careful with your identity and take steps to insure that nobody will be causing you any financial nightmares. A service like lifelock is a good safe guard when it comes to protecting your identity from the thieves looking to get their hands on it. They will alert you to any strange charges you might receive from someone that has stolen your credit card number or just got a new credit card in your name. Identity theft is a crime on the rise and until the consumers start putting their foot down, these numbers will just continue to go up. Lifelock can be a valuable team to have on your side and giving them the chance to help protect your identity will result in more sleep and rest you can get each night. The sleepless nights that people go through, because they are having 2nd thoughts about revealing some type of personal information to someone, can be eliminated once you have the folks from Lifelock in your corner!

It seems the story of Brett Favre just keeps going and going and I’m not sure why. Finally he has found a team for the upcoming NFL season and hopefully this will slow down all of the talk surrounding Mr. Favre. The Jets was the one that won the Brett Favre sweepstakes, so Brett will still be in green next year and playing in cold temperatures, but he is no longer a Green Bay Packer. I’m not sure how good people really think this guy is and he’s just a QB that has stayed healthy and has been able to put up great stats that way. He doesn’t have a wide receiver tandem like he did in Green Bay and Favre will be very average as a Jets quarterback. I think the Jets would have won 8 games without Favre on their side and I think they still only manage to win 8 games with him there. Brett Favre will not make the Jets a playoff team and he is overrated in the NFL and media circles too. The Brett Favre story is old news and now maybe we can learn about other teams and players as the NFL is already starting up preseason football games. It’s a fun time of the year when it gets to the preseason and now we can start counting down the days until the games start counting for real in about 6 weeks.
