Ever lost your credit cards or ID while traveling?
Do people ever worry when their traveling what would happen if they
lost their credit cards or ID? That's what happened to me! I didn't know who to call to report my cards stolen, or how to get a new passport, or what to do to make sure someone didn't use my passport and SSN to steal my identity! There are lots of things you can do to make sure this doesn't happen to you. The best way I found is to be prepared. There are free services on the web that can help you protect yourself. My favorite page is: http://www.cardguardusa.com On their site I used their free CardPages to create a list of all my emergency contact numbers that I would need next time I lose any important documents or credit cards. And I can access my CardPages from anywhere via the internet. Here are some other great pages I found that have some great information on identity theft and fraud. http://www.cardguardusa.com http://www.cardguard.ca http://www.consumer.gov/idtheft/ http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/fraud/idtheft.html http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/credit/idtheft.htm **Please copy and distribute freely. |

Make a list of your credit card information and their telephones numbers and
leave a copy of this list in your suitcase or safe inside your room or hotel safe, and with a trusted friend at home. Make a good copy of your passport, take one with you and leave this with a trusted friend. In the event of a lost passport, you can have a copy fax'd to you for temporary ID. Any US embassy will provide assistance. Frank from Deeeetroit "Bert Hyman" wrote in message ... In om (Steve) wrote: My favorite page is: http://www.cardguardusa.com Really?

Well, if you were silly enough to lose all your credit cards and ID,
why should any of us trust your company with our information? Good one, Charles. : |

Of course, many embassies have a consulate in the same building, but not all. ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |

Ever lost your credit cards or ID while traveling?
Sounds like a hair club for men commercial. I'm not just a customer, I own
the company too. My company is called card guard USA, yet it's located in Canada. And I really believe this line too: CardGuard believes in helping others. Our feature service is FREE and will remain so. We give you the opportunity to make a donation in lieu of charging for our services. All money donated will go to charitable organizations in your respective communities. So instead of charging me, you ask for me to make a donation and then you will give it back to charities in my area? No wonder you are based in Canada, if you were in the United States you would have to answer this question: Please tell me which charities in my area you have supported, and how much you have donated to them? But hey, I won't let the fact that even the address of the company is a fake, it's a mail box rental location: http://www.bot.com/ContentIslands/Pu...boxRentals.asp So lets see if I have this right. I should trust you with all my information because you have been mugged and all your credit information stolen? Or is you carry too many credit cards when you go shopping as you said in another post? Or is it because a criminal would have says to ring up charges because it would take us a week or so to locate the number for MasterCard and visa and American express? Four mouse clicks on the visa site to get the number. One mouse click on MasterCard. Noticed how you neglected to mention that no matter how much the criminal charges, I'm not liable for anything other then the first $50 until I report the card as stolen. Funny how that works.
