Mel Green and Shannyn Moore


On the third day of public testimony at the Anchorage Assembly on AO 2009-64, which would extend protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.

It was my privilege to finally meet Shannyn Moore, blogger extraordinaire of Just a Girl from Homer, a few minutes after she finished testifying in support of the ordinance. She graciously consented to being in a photo with me — here she seems fascinated (as many are) by the cool ability of my Nikon Coolpix S10 to split-rotate so I can see what the heck is in the lens when I’m doing self-portraits.

Page one: "evil unmasked". Page five: "now everyone knows what they look like the taxpayer will foot the bill in protecting their new identities". As a taxpayer whose money would not have been wasted quite so much had the media run the front-page story, can I sue the media for damages?

Question by winona wacker: Identity Protection Services – can someone suggest the best site?
It seems that every other article I see is about the hazards of identity theft. I am conscientious about shredding my mail. Identity Protection Services – can someone suggest the best site?

Best answer:

Answer by Sharon
They are all a ripoff. Use online banking and check your credit report. There are three credit bureaus and each are required to give you a free credit report every year. That way you can get one every three months. Don’t get into buying any credit monitoring. They are all a waste of money.

Organisations Protecting Against Identity Theft

Identity theft is becoming more sophisticated and hard to manage by ever passing day where id thieves are finding out new ways to steal your identity. This rapid growth in the number of cases in identity theft being reported has also been matched by the corresponding increase in the business that offer services to protect you from the impact of id theft.

However the arguments still remain when it comes to the effectiveness of services offered by these id theft protection companies. Therefore you need to find for yourself how services based on the organization would help protect your identity.

Services included

Max Thompson of Identity Theft Protection 101, identities five services which are generally offered by id theft protection companies. The services include daily monitoring of credit reports, providing you a list of the credit applications issued on your name, maintain fraud alerts on your credit reports, eliminate pre approved credit offers and also monitor other personal identifiers like your social security number.

The LifeLock Company for instance which is owned by Todd Davis offers an excellent example of the problems faced by these companies in offering your guaranteed identity theft protection. The owner of the company who is know for displaying his social security number in ads for his company’s effectiveness actually had his id stolen which caused their customers to file suit against them.

Report from Consumer Federation of America

There was a report by Consumer Federation of America or CFA in March 2009 entitled To Catch a Thief and it discussed whether id theft protection services are actually worth the cost which voiced concerns on the effectiveness of these companies. However after researching around 16 businesses which offered id theft protection service and the CFA had found several problems with their service.

Some of these include lack of proper information on costs and coverage, incomplete data about insurance coverage, misleading statements regarding the effectiveness of fraud alerts, vague guarantees and also the use of internal negotiation methods which could limit rights of a consumer.

The report from CFA also criticized the companies which publicize id theft ‘protection’ service. However according to the author of the report, although the services offered by these companies might offer protection from the effects of id theft, completely preventing it is very difficult.

According to the federal trade commission you are recommended to use free identity theft protection services that you are entitled for before buying services from different companies. The FTC also specifies that based on the Fair Credit Reporting Act you are permitted to place both a seven year extended alert and 90 day initial fraud alert on your credit report without any charges.

When these alerts are in place, the creditors will have to personally contact you before issuing any credit under your name. You can even use credit freeze option that can stop anyone from gaining access to your reports. Therefore when choosing identity theft protection organizations make sure know what services you are offered and how much it would cost you for their service.

Question by Priscilla M: probation violation of credit card theft?
my boyfriend got probation for credit card theft,but was in jail and missed going to see his probation officer,what could happen to him?

Best answer:

Answer by Hughe W
Court and police records will show he was in jail, and won’t get in trouble for not meeting with his Probation Officer. But then again, he’s in trouble for violating his probation for getting arrested again.

Instead of worrying about your boyfriend, you should worry more about yourself, and getting rid of an obvious loser. On probation and he gets arrested again? Get a new boyfriend dear.
