When you consider your identity, you more than likely think in terms of: your name, where you grew up, where you work, where you live, what kind of car you drive, your likes and dislikes, and other such things.

Identity thieves are not really interested in what color eyes you have, how successful you are in your career, what kind of house you live in, what color your car is, or the fact that you like pepperoni pizza.

What identity thieves are interested in is the personal identifying information which makes up your financial identity.

Here are some of the important pieces of information that identity thieves are eager to get their hands on, which you must carefully guard:

• Your Name

• Your Address

• Your Telephone Number

• Your Cell Phone Number

• Your Date of Birth

• Your Place of Birth

• Your Signature

• Your Social Security Number

• Your Driver's License

• Your Mother's Maiden Name

• Your Bank Account Number

• Your Checking Account Number

• Your Credit Card Number

• Your ATM PIN

• Your Birth Certificate

• Your Medical Records

• Your Insurance Records

• Your Email Address

• Your Passwords on Accounts

All it takes for your personal identity to be stolen and used in fraudulent ways is for an identity thief to get just a few pieces of information listed here. While that is certainly bad news, what's worse is that much of this information is easier to get than you may realize.

It's pretty scary how you can be an ordinary person, living an honest life, minding your own business, providing for your family, and suddenly discover one day that your identity has been stolen and used to run up big bills, or worse, to commit a crime.

Life shouldn't be this way, but it is. And because it is, more pressure is placed upon you to be more knowledgeable about how thieves operate and better prepared to safeguard your identity.

Yes, it is an incovenience. But you can do it and you MUST do it! After all, it is a much, much, greater inconvenience to be victimized.

The good news is that there are many tools and organizations available to assist you in protecting your identity and guarding your personal information.
