Thats even worse than buying health insurance. You don't absolute control over if you get sick or not, but you *do* have absolute control over if your identity gets stolen. They should make more insurance products like this... so that dumb people who know they are dumb can saddle someone else with the bill.  |
Hmm, I dont think you really have a whole lot of control over identity theft. If you blatantly do dumb things like visit sites sent to you in spam messages, or just throw out papers with personal info in the garbage without shredding your asking for it...
but even by having a credit card, your info gets traded around so much by big companies its unreal. Companies (and even the govmnt) lose personal data all the time.. seems to happen pretty frequently.
