The moment we step into the battlegrounds of words and images immortalized by the internet, we give a part of ourselves to the advancement of identity theft.
This does not serve as a threat but more of a warning to us so that we could start the action we should do to fight it.
Guard your words.
You must remember that you are already a public figure once you surrender yourself to the terms and conditions of the internet.
It does not need any big exposure for someone to be considered a public figure since after publishing yourself publicly, people are now open to see your profile.
With that, people can easily save your photos and grab your information so that they can put another profile under their hands which will then be used against your own will and even against your own knowledge.
Protect your photo.
This is one of the greatest proofs that you are who they create.
It is because people tend to believe what they see, and seeing your picture and name together despite the absence of your actual identity since this time, you have already been victim of identity theft, means a bigger chance of a successful manipulation.
It is in this context that seeing is the cause of believing.
Safeguard your money.
This is probably the most relevant reason why people bite the thought of identity theft.
Money business is identity theft's business.
Since there is an easy manipulation on the information that could be used to access accounts and other financial savings, money can easily be grabbed.
Through this, you can suffer from unwanted debts and pay stuff that you have not even had.
Cruel it may be, but money is money and getting it in any way possible is desperation at its greatest.
Watch your environment.
Once you have felt the first sting of strangeness that is happening around you and towards you, remember that you have to start being watchful, especially when you know that you are not doing anything at all to suffer from something at this.
One of the possible reasons behind this is because someone is doing something against you.
You know, it is not just about money.
It is more of becoming you and using you to make fun even if you are suffering the other way around.
When this happens, you must know what you should do next.
First, clear up your case.
Inform your friends and the people around you that you have been a victim of identity theft.
Second, find your way towards the suspect and after searching, do your most revengeful ways to scare that bastard away.
Sustain that position.
If you have already achieved the position where you have well established yourself to the point where identity thief will just go away from you to save them from being sued, that is your success.
Sustain that.
Let them live in fear because you were once there in that position.
This is indeed a battleground and you should fight for your own existence, your own and only existence.
