"What the New Year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year." ~ Vern McLellan
The government says 1 out of every 14 Americans age 16 or older was a target or a victim of identity theft, a crime imposing a heavy emotional toll on many of its victims. Full story. According to a national household survey of 70,000 people issued by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, identity theft resulted in $24.7 billion in financial losses last year. The crime affected 16.6 million people and fell most heavily on households with annual incomes of $75,000 or more. In that income bracket, 10 percent of such households were victimized.
Identity Stronghold recognized the need for privacy protection for RFID chipped items and created a new industry in RFID shielding protection in the early 2000's. Electronic pickpocketing can happen to anyone.
Let's disable the tools used by thieves by protecting our information. Secure products shield your information so thieves can't scan your credit/debit cards. Let's spread the word to people we know so they can protect themselves.

December 11, 2013 - The Boston Globe
"Hundreds of attendees at two large conventions in Boston this fall have reported that their credit card information was stolen and was used to purchase goods around the country and overseas.
It's unclear how the thieves got the card numbers....
Credit card theft is common, costing millions of American consumers and businesses billions of dollars. Since June, companies have reported 10 data breaches that collectively affected the credit card and social security numbers of more than 9,400 Massachusetts residents.
But restaurants are particularly vulnerable to credit card theft because servers walk away with diners' cards. Wayward employees can simply write down the credit card information or use a device called a skimmer to capture not only the name, card number, expiration date, and security code, but the information in the magnetic stripe as well."
Keep your cards in a Secure SleeveŽ or Secure Wallet™ to protect yourself from identity theft.

Protecting Your Identity From Online People-Finder Services
A simple search for one's own name on any of the popular internet search engines can provide a surprising amount of sensitive personal information. A knowledgeable searcher can turn up property records, court filings, unlisted and cellphone numbers, and even credit card and bank information. Minimizing the information available via your "online identity" is an important measure in reducing the risk of identity theft.
Check out this article for a list of popular "people-finder" websites and methods you can use to "Opt Out" your personal information.

"This wallet has lasted me longer than any other wallet I have had. Not only do I feel secure because of the ID blocker it is durable well constructed and it has protected my ID. My wallet is going one three years old and still holding together. Most wallets have only lasted me 8 months to a year. This one has been the best."

"I bought this product over 2 years ago. The wallet is still in good shape. I tested the blocking ability with my RF security badge. With my badge in the wallet it was not readable with the scanners no matter how close they were. I will buy another one when this ones needs to be replaced."
