Spike, Spiked and Spiking
To be spiked in the much missed important media events catches the mainstream in a maxed out stingy role. Spiking is downplayed and it is evident by the lovers of spike. You know what I mean.
What is the value of Spiking. What does it mean when you’re spiked? Many are the different spikes in this monumental game of spiking. It is truly an eye twitching twenty first century phenomena that only those that love it can endure. At least eight million Americans are victims of identity theft every year. They have been spiked. One’s identity can be stolen in many ways. Some ways are typical methods that you can easily avoid.
Identity fraud is common and ways that thieves get you is through dumpster diving to find personal info, stealing credit card numbers with cell phone cameras in checkout lines, and through phishing (where Internet thieves use email to fool people into revealing personal data).
Identity theft losses run into billion of dollars annually and the personal cost in time and money for rescuing one’s stolen identity in itself is very costly indeed. I have termed it spiking because it takes from the hand of those who are trying to do right and drives as it were through their ability to keep their finances in order. Like the spikes that were driven in the hands of Jesus, people who spike their victims, do so without showing mercy. They are aware of what they are doing, but they do it without a care or concern about the people they ruin.
According to the Federal Trade Commission’s 2006 Identity Theft Survey Report, about ten percent of identity theft victims incurred costs of twelve hundred dollars or more in attempting to correct the misuse of their identities.
Listen if your family is truly the concern of your life and the center of your life, please do not get on the Internet and fall for get rich quick schemes. Never fall for the emails that promise you huge sums of money and ask for your personal information like your name, address, city, state, age, and etc.. Make sure you take every precaution to insure that your personal information is protected and use only those sources that insure whatever information they need. Don’t spike, nor get spiked, by people who love spiking. O.K! People are the pets. Spiking is the game, and the cost is the railroad when you are taken for a ride.
