Wouldn’t it be great to have a clone? Someone that could do all the things you hate to do and never have time to do? Or someone to do all of the shopping and answer all of the telephone calls. Or a clone of a perfect employee? Double the efficiency, productivity and on call 24/7/365 – without the extra salary and benefits?

In a case of “be careful what you wish for, you just might get it”, one summer afternoon I discovered that my wish had come true – with disastrous and long-term consequences. My entire identity had been stolen and another person created who went on a $60,000 shopping spree and cell phone blitz using my good name, credit and even my perfected signature. Just another face and new address on my “new” Tennessee driver’s license.

Everyday we are bombarded with news that yet another breach of security had left more millions of individuals vulnerable to identity theft. Whether it is a stolen cell phone or hijacked long distance or use of credit data, or a full-blown clone, identity theft has or soon will impact millions of more individuals and business across the globe. Laws are being proposed, fingers pointed and investigations commenced to stop the thieves. But these brand of thieves are clever, innovative and creative in their methods that net them the data that funds not only shopping sprees but drugs, terrorists and prostitution world wide. From toddlers to the octogenarians and businesses of all sizes and types, no one is immune from identity theft.
