irritatedNow Playing: Identity Thefts Skyrocket - I Suspect I know Why
Topic: FAILURE by the GOVERNMENT
NOVEMBER 17 Update
So all these mass amounts of thefts of "average joe's" personal information is being "scrapped" errrrrr.... I mean stolen day in and day out
I forget where I also have read confirmations to my suspicions that our own sneaky government is behind a good portion of this
For Big Brother or the CIA or The FBI or for all those Homeland Security departments to get their hands on this stuff that they want and need ...theft is the easiest way.
They NEED THIS INFO for their data mining and their "big brother spy networks" to function. Buying the info off the black market or illegally collecting it through thefts and mix ups is the way that their data bases are getting the "needed" information ....which is private stuff on you and me and the average joe anybody. This info is not so readily available to those NEEDING big brother agencies ....so a little pilfering will suffice just fine ......well that is what I suspect is happening
Read these two articles below and then follow the links
Think about my suspicions and then watch this Data Theft topic continue to expand. Refer back to this page by clicking on link below then bookmark that/this page for latter:
Come back right here for added updates as I find out more information in the days ahead.
