Rochester Insurance

Alarming new statistics show that one in every 20 Americans has now been a victim of identity theft and the crime is climbing by about 13 percent a year. Did you know that your Rochester NY Homeowners Insurance can protect you?

If you’re like most people, you used your credit cards a little more often than usual last month. And that makes me think about something that could turn the whole season sour … Identity Theft.

There are new internet tax sites popping up every day for those who decide to file taxes themselves. But remember — you can never be too safe with your personal information. Do you have Identify Theft protection included on your homeowners insurance? If not, you might want to consider adding Identity Theft to your homeowners insurance policy. For a nominal fee, this addition will help restore your identity if you are a victim of theft or fraud.

Identity theft is certainly a growing concern. In fact, it has increased more than 50% since 2003! Thieves have consistently found new ways to obtain your information like your Social Security number or credit card information, which can lead to thousands of dollars in fradulent loans or credit card charges. Often you may be unaware of these charges or even declinced for a loan to due to a credit report showing defauls on loans that are unknows to you!
