A new Identity Theft alert issued is extremely disturbing.
Business Identity Theft is growing.
These criminals without conscious are altering State records stealing Business Identity.
They are growing their technology skills with intent and focus to destroy lives, much like malignant cancer growing rapidly and cloning its evilness as it grows.
If you have ever owned a business name, go to your State Department of Corporations, you can do this on-line and check your name and your business name, especially if your business name is inactive, and if you have a fictitious name listing.
The new trend is that criminals alter the records listed add a fake name or even their own name as an officer or registered agent and pay the renewal fee.
They steal the business name.
Is your business safe? These Identity Thieves then conduct business as if you still owned it.
They use the business for money laundering, or other criminal acts.
If not caught in time, your reputation along with your financial identity is destined for ruin.
The state I live in is addressing this issue aggressively, but they didn't catch it quickly enough.
Regardless of what law enforcement does, these Phantoms of Identity Theft are usually one step ahead.
It is your responsibility to keep your identity safe.
No one is immune.
Identity Theft can happen to anyone anywhere anytime.
