URGENT VIDEO: Dangerous Lesson Learned!
I’ve been told that I do put myself out there. Maybe a little too FAR out there for most.
For me, I feel like I’ve got a lot to give to the world so I don’t mind being an open book.
Well, I’ll about had a heart attack when I found out what I did recently. I got an email from Millie saying…
Dustin, I realize this is an autoresponder. I hope you monitor it. You have some private information displayed on your video that should be removed immediately for your own safety!!
So I scrambled to get to the video on the front page. And there it was, one of my business credit card numbers. I was so focused on creating that video that I didn’t notice that one of my approval letters had my credit card number on it!
It’s hard to see in this picture but if you zoom in…you can see the whole number!
At first I felt the anxiety take over (12,541+ have viewed this video) but then I quickly realized that I needed to do one thing. Call the credit card company and tell them what happened.
It was as simple as that. They simply issued me a new credit card…and I was absolved from any future charges on that card.
This could have been bad! Credit card and identity theft are the fastest growing crimes in America.
According to USPS..
Last year alone, more than 9.9 million Americans were victims of identity theft, a crime that cost them roughly $5 billion!
And the 2003 survey from the Identity Theft Resource Center found that :
- The average time spent by victims resolving the problem is about 40 hours
- The emotional impact is similar to that of victims of violent crimes
I wasn’t worried all that much because I had joined LifeLock earlier this year after being freaked out. Watch the video for my story…
Identity Theft Protection Link –> Life Lock
This isn’t a sales pitch to go sign up for their program I thought I’d share this with you since it’s a tool I use and so that you don’t have to go through your own nightmare.
P.S. Thanks to Millie for bringing this to my attention. You are a life saver!
