I received a weird instant message today from my friend asking me if I can supply her 50 pieces of P500 worth of call cards. Since I have a cell phone store, I initially thought that the person I’m talking to really knows me since he or she knows that we sell call cards on our cell phone store. But then I have this gut instinct that the person I’m talking to really sounds different from how I know my friend. And I get really suspicious when the person I’m talking to told me to send via email the code for the 50 pieces call cards since she really need it right away.
So I contacted my friend and as it turns out, her identity has been stolen and the person I’m talking to is impersonating her and is using her yahoo id to get money from all the people under my friends contact list.
I never thought that identity theft is also rampant here in the Philippines. I read from lifelock.com that Identity theft is one of the most rampant cases in the US and so people from the US are enrolling in lifelock to get help on prevention and protection from identify theft.
I have a friend from the US who just used a lifelock promotion code to enroll to their system and according to her this really gave her peace of mind knowing that she is protected from the threat of identity theft.
