I belong to Equifax just for this very reason.They alert you every time something changes in your credit file.Also,check bank statements everyday on-line to make sure everything kosher.You cannot be to careful now a days.

Nearly 10 million people were victims of identity theft during the past year, a total many times higher than previous estimates,

Florida, one of the nation's hotbeds of identity theft,

and

Last year, the FTC received 11,000 complaints of ID fraud from Florida, ranking the state fifth nationwide per capita.

Where is the math here... 11,000 x 50 states = 550,000 people which should be high

Where do you get 10 million from?
