Q. Which Internet faxing services are truly confidential?
A. Almost every Internet fax service keeps your documents confidential, If you fax by email, you’re essentially agreeing that your documents might be seen in transmission from your email to the service to the intended recipient. MyFax, RingCentral, and RapidFax are among those fax services with secure online forms. We prefer MyFax because of its price, interface, and free 800 number.

Road Trip: If you’re planning on taking a family road trip, it’s smart to use a card that will pay you back for all the driving and eating out you’ll be doing.

200,000 Citigroup customers have data stolen
Today Citigroup reported that the names, account numbers and email address of 200,000 bankcard customers had been stolen by hackers. That’s a lot of people—in fact it’a about 1% of Citi ‘s total customers. Even more surprising is that the data theft actually happened in May, but wasn’t divulged until today.
While this breach might be the proverbial straw that that causes banks to finally adopt tougher security (and disclosure) measures, that’s of little consolation to the customers impacted by the theft. Regardless of whether you’ve been affected by this particular situation, it makes sense to do everything you can to protect your information from prying and unscrupulous eyes. We rmend taking a look at our top rated identity theft protection services. A number of them even offer free trials, so you can sign up and see if they work for you before paying.

When Jim Smith opens a credit card account, he doesn’t have to pay the bill. That’s because Jim Smith is committing new account fraud by using Fred Jones’s name and Social Security number.
All Jim Smith needs is some basic information about Fred Jones, much of which is available in the phonebook, in his trash, in discarded files in the bank’s dumpster, or on social media sites. Maybe Fred also happens to work with Jim, and Jim has direct access to Fred’s files.
Once Jim has Fred’s information, all he has to do is go online with the PC in his cozy office, or head down to the local coffee shop and fire up his iPad, or even fill out a credit card application from his mobile phone.
Scenarios like this one happen all day long across the globe. Credit issuers are constantly looking for new tools to identify fraudulent applications faster.
Since online credit applicants can fool you with any number of tricks to get approved for credit leaving you holding the bag for losses, instead of verifying identity information on fraudulent applicants, consider (or computer) being used to submit the application in the first place. When a fraud
