When I talk about the identity theft crisis and try to educate the public, the mainstream media wants you to believe that your credit identity is only part that is at stake. In fact more then 70 percent of identity theft occurrences are not credit related. I will, through a series of articles, try to inform you, the public, on the true crisis we face today with the identity theft crime. No more is it “if” you become a victim of identity theft, but “when” you become a victim you will need help. I hope and pray I will be able to point you to the right way for that help.

Is the Openness of Your Mailbox Simply Obvious?
The traditional mailbox design would seem to uphold the popular saying that if it's not broke, you shouldn't fix it. Unfortunately, the truth is that the current mailbox design is outdated, inefficient, and has been allowing a huge rise in mail and identity theft over the last few decades. In light of these facts, it seems that the time has come for a new method of receiving and storing mail.
How does one prevent identity theft from occurring in this era of information proliferation and electronic communication? Many people would think that some sort of email or computer-based solution is the best place to start--but really, a huge percentage of identity theft can be accomplished with nothing more than a watchful eye and some sticky fingers. Mailboxes, which generally contain personal information such as credit cards, bank statements, and checks, are a veritable treasure trove of personal information for identity thieves.
Thieves get a hold of fragments of personal information, which they then use to illicitly draw up large bills in your name. Many times, the source of this information is not your computer at all, but something far more pedestrian: your mailbox. Credit cards, checks, official documents--all this and more is found and stolen regularly from mailboxes all over the country.
The CurbVault™ is the most effective theft-proof mailboxes. Its 1/8-inch steel plating is nearly indestructible, guaranteeing that personal information contained within won't get into the wrong hands. The CurbVault™ is built in two layers. The first of these is smaller, and can be easily accessed by anyone: this is the outgoing mail slot. The second employs a drop box mechanism to allow mail to enter, but it makes unlawful retrieval of mail very difficult indeed. The only easy way to get the mail out of the CurbVault's™ 3,200 sq. in. interior shaft is to use the special rear-lock door. The CurbVault™ comes in a variety of colors and can be installed wherever one might put a regular mailbox. It is designed with features such as rain channels, mildew-resistant exterior and rust-resistant hinges. Installation is fast and easy; it doesn't require a concrete base to be secure. To learn more about The CurbVault™, contact Mail Theft Solutions, Inc., at 1-866-990-MAIL, otherwise via the web site at: http://tinyurl.com/lajv2
