With the rash of identity theft issues in the news, it is amazing that there are a certain segment of society that continues to volunteer this information up for everyone to have access to.  Guard your personal and financial data – both online and off… don’t become a victim, and seriously don’t help the criminals out by giving them the information they’re after voluntarily.
