Happy Father’s Day to My Two Dads
June 19, 2009 – 1:01 pm
With Father’s Day this weekend chances are you’ve already thought up and bought your father his gift. If your dad is anything like mine, that’s an extremely hard process. Fathers are notoriously hard to buy for, so how much more difficult would it be to buy for two, or three or more?
That might be the case with your father. With identity theft on the rise, and especially with middle-aged to elderly segments of the population becoming major victim groups, you might have more than one dad now and just not know it. Your dad may be prone to an online phishing attempt — where official looking emails are sent to people asking them to log into sites that records their information. Or he could be a target of con-men who run retirement schemes on the elderly. With identity theft through technology growing every day, those not familiar with it need education so they don’t become a victim.
Talk to your father this Father’s Day and let them know what to watch out for or take steps to make sure he’s protected against credit and ID fraud. There are many prevention services out there. Take a look at them and compare and if you see one your like, look for a discount or promotion code that will cut the cost even further. Looking out for your family could mean a lot more to your father than a tie or a pack of socks. It could ensure that your dad stays the person he is and not a thief buying a car in Arizona.
