What might happen if your credit card number and credit history fell into the wrong hands? |
[Edit] |
Answer
It could be used for identiy theft for one. Or to apply for another credit card, then run up charages in that person's name. A lot of damage can be done when personal infomation, such as card numbers, SS #, etc. fall into the "wrong hands." And as statistics prove, it camn and does wreak havoc with a consumer's life as well as credit.
