ID theft

It was a big surprise to us when a few years ago, I decided to check our credit report. We've always been cautious with our spending and we watch our bank accounts like hawks. Little did we know that ID thieves were already racking up high phone bills under our name. Needless to say, I was furious and livid about the whole situation. How can someone get away with it? How come companies are not checking the identities of people who sign up for their services fully?? Who is to blame in this situation? It took us two years to fix the big mess. We have learned a valuable lesson. We now have our identities protected. So thief, I dare you to mess with me this time! :-)
