According to the source from Chapman University, here are the top 10 American’s Biggest Fears:
- 60.6% – Corrupt Government Officials
- 41% – Terrorist Attack
- 39.9% – Not Having Enough Money for the Future
- 38.5% – Terrorism
- 38.5% – Government Restrictions on Firearms/Ammunition
- 38.1% – People I Love Dying
- 37.5% – Economic/Financial Collapse
- 35.9% – Identity Theft
- 35.9% – People I Love Becoming Seriously Ill
- 35.5% – The Affordable Health Care Act/Obamacare
There you have it. These are all legitimate fears we all face today and with such a high percentage, I totally agree with the #1 fear. But I am a little surprised that Identity Theft made it to the top 10 list. But judging from the horror stories of the identity theft victims of what they have to go through, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. While sometimes, the occurrence of identity theft events is out of our control, such as the security breach on major banks, health insurance companies, retail stores…etc., or the latest Yahoo account compromise, on the personal level there is something we can do to protect our identity and privacy. The one thing you can do is start by changing your wallet to one that’s capable of RFID blocking. I am sure you have found out already that most credit cards now come with a chip. Identity thieves equipped with the special high-tech device can steal your credit card information when they get near you and scan your wallet or purse without you knowing what’s going on. You can do a search on Youtube and will find videos such as this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49o91DvqQ7k.
And you guess it right on the money, our SOS EDC™ RFID blocking wallets will do the job of stopping the scanning if used properly. Our wallets are not only designed to stop electronic pickpocketing but also physical pickpocketing. The protection these wallets provide is well worth the small investment you put in, this could be one of the smartest investments you will ever make. Trust me, you really don’t want to go through the ordeal of losing your wallet or having your identity got stolen and used in fraudulent/criminal activities.
