If I avoid using the Web to manage various accounts tied to my personal and financial data then I will be safe - WRONG !!!



Scammers can create online accounts in someone’s name at the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Postal Service or the Social Security Administration

Kerskie said she recently had a client who had almost a quarter of a million dollars taken from his bank account precisely because he declined to link his bank account to an online identity

Plant your flag online or — as Kerskie puts it — “mark your territory” — before fraudsters do it for you. 

The bad guy can  your vendor/service provider, provide his personal details, and establish an online account,” Once they do that, they will be able to do anything.
