You have some code in order they know its really you approving the information given. Well worth the safety and no matter what a crook has of yours they can not get nor cause anyone else to be able to have credit approved without you!!! Cheap price for such safety.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	My friend just found out she has been a victim of this fraud. She is a single woman on a fixed income and now facing years of confusion since someone has managed to get three credit cards issued in her name with charges well over $18,000.00 and thats all she has found out so far....What a mess. Ladies call the above agencies and safeguard yourselves.
