As stated earlier you need to get the official form available at no cost. For full details on replacing a lost Social Security Card, see my previous post Here.
When I lost my Social Security Card over two years ago, I had no idea what to do. I also had no idea how vulnerable I was to identity theft, until it was too late. Make sure you educate yourself by reading up on Identity Theft.
You may well save yourself thousands of dollars, as well as a lot of heartache for many months.
Even now I’m finding it very difficult to start trusting people again. I’ve found that education is the best therapy though. Since I got everything sorted out and back to normal, six months ago, I’ve found out lots of information, and I’m a lot more prepared for preventing becoming a victim of identity theft again.
One of the most valuable things you can do to protect yourself, is to get inside the mind of an identity thief. Once you find out what it is they want most, you are best armed to protect yourself. If I had known a fraction of what Henry Tom has written in this Report, I would never have become a victim myself two years ago.
Make sure you read it, then act on all the advice given as soon as possible. Please don’t end up regretting that you didn’t educate yourself sooner. Because Identity Fraud may educate you soon enough.
Take care
