Stop Trying to be Me (Identity Theft)

Why would someone pretend to be you and pilfer the little you have saved your entire life.  Once you are a victim of identity theft it’s hard to sort out all the damage that’s been done.

Don’t make it simple for the opportunist, shred all important documents before discarding, also be extremely careful when using your credit/debit cards.  Crooks are smarter than you think.  A device has been created which will duplicate the information off your credit/debit card once it’s been swiped, and transfer it to a blank card which will enable the thief to steal your identity.

You might want to sign up with a company that will protect you from this sort of thing.  www.lifelock.com or contact the nearest Identity Theft Resource Center(ITRC).

The other day I caught you

 going through my trash,

searching for some secret info

 you thought I had stashed,

but little did I know this was your

 clever way of tapping into my cash.

It’s a shame you didn’t slip on a banana

 and get a sever case of whiplash.

Why are you so desperate to be me?

Concocting evil schemes to steal my identify

have you no morals, no pride, at what

point were you stripped of you dignity.

No matter how you slice and dice it,

it won’t do you any good.

you’re an identity thief and not

Russell Crowe in Robin Hood.

Just to let you know, I brought

myself a shredder the other day.

I’ve worked hard for my belongings, I

won’t allow some crook to take it all away.

You might find some other means to steal

 my identity, and live like a fat rat in a cheese factory.

One day you will get caught and locked up

 and I will personally throw away the key.
