Apply for a Credit Card - Best Cards Coming
I have been working diligently to research the best credit cards on the market. I have the results for the card offers that are going to fit your lifestyle and credit history.
Hours were spent making the site look better, but somehow my technology is failing me here.
I have the absolute best offers ready to publish yet when I uploaded them to the home page something went wrong. The links didn't want to work.
Until I get the technology glitch sorted out, please look at the left menu for the best cards by category so you can compare the current offers which are listed in order of best to worst in each category based on several factors depending on the category a credit card is under.
The first card offer you see in each category is the best predominately based on consumer feedback for that given category.
The offers are placed automatically in real time for what are the top choices amongst site visitors.
Hang in there, the best credit card offers will soon be placed on the home page to save you a few clicks from finding the best offer.
Now, I must run and answer several email about the new addition to Crediteria.com, the identity theft awareness section.
Wow! I am getting a little overwhelmed trying to keep up with everything you need to know about money, finance and protecting yourself from evil doers out there.
Having said that, please have a look at the identity theft prevention program that I am reviewing.
More information to come about credit cards, managing your money and protecting yourself from criminals that are trying to rip you off!
Not to worry, I am going to make sure you are fully educated and lead you to live a prosperous life

President’s Identity Theft Task Force
At a recent authentication workshop, a plan to fight identity theft was released. The task force on identity theft is fronted by Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and FTC Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras.
In plain English, what the strategic plan to fight identity theft involves is this:
Better prosecution of identity crimes
Improved sensitive data protection maintained by private and public sectors.
Improvements in assistance for victims of identity theft
The President’s Identity Task Force plans to make broad sweeping changes to current policies as well as exact items to change in law and education.
Among the changes
Less use of SSN’s by government agencies. Your Social Security Number is the single most important piece of information to protect in cases of identity theft
Increase consumer awareness through education
Until new laws are in place, it is up to you to make sure identity thieves don’t ruin your life.
Identity theft can happen to anybody at anytime. So make sure you never give out your personally identifying information. To ensure your identity is secure I highly recommend spending less than $10 per month and subscribe to LifeLock’s identity protection service. You have nothing to lose and your identity to protect.

Identity Theft Prevent Phishing Scams
Identity Theft Prevention – What is Phishing?
Identity theft is a crime that occurs in many different ways. In order to prevent identity theft you must know how criminals acquire your personal information.
Today I am going to educate you about an id theft scam known as phishing.
Phishing is when a criminal contacts you, usually via email and sometimes telephone, masquerading as a well known company.
Quite often you will see email enter your inbox that appears to be from a legitimate company such as ebay or a national bank. What is happening is known as spoofing. The criminal uses technology to give the appearance that their email is coming from a reputable company.
The phishing scam will ask that you enter your account details because there has been a problem. Quite often the criminal will make statements such as this is for your safety and protection that you enter the information into the form on the web page they send.
To you, everything looks legit because the criminal has taken the time to reproduce a replica of the trusted company’s site giving you the feeling that it is the "real site"
But, it’s not the real site.
Beware when you receive email from companies asking for your personal information, quite often it’s a phishing scam.
If you are not sure, contact the company immediately.
How can you tell if the company is real or not?
Look at your address navigation bar at the top of your browser to ensure that the site is the actual company’s site. The criminals will use a web address that contains the name but is not the real company.
For example a legitimate address for eBay would be www.ebay.com, whereas a criminal trying to hijack your personal information would use a site of their own such as
www.HereAreSomeWords.com/EBAY?verify your ebay info
What the criminals are doing is trying to confuse you into believing that since they have used the word ebay in their file names that you will believe this is truly ebay.
Again, never respond to these types of emails or phone calls, always contact the company directly

Prevent Identity Theft – It Can Ruin Your Life
I felt compelled to get some information about identity theft posted on Crediteria.com after watching a local news story about how identity thieves were using wireless technology to plant a bug in a point of sale terminal at a local mall to remotely steal the information including your Personal Identification Number (PIN).
After hijacking your bank account information the thieves then went and drained bank accounts. Yes, this story is painful for those who were robbed in broad daylight! I had recommended that you use a service such as LifeLock to secure your personal identity and prevent it from being ripped out from under you
But, identity theft goes far beyond the pain of being robbed in such a fashion, theft of your identity can actually ruin your life!
I decided to read more about the impacts other individuals have had due to low life scum identity thieves.
While reading through several personal stories I am absolutely appalled and frightened by the long lasting damage ID theft can cause.
Here is an overview in point form of how bad things can get when your identity is stolen
While not all of the above points will happen in every case of identity fraud, this is what can happen to anybody at anytime if the thief is motivated enough to press on with your good name!
I am very serious when I say that you need to protect yourself from these criminals! Don’t let identity theft ruin your life, get protection for you and your family now!
After the research I have done I have subscribed to LifeLock because of the stellar identity security they provide at an incredibly reasonable price. I chose LifeLock both because of the incredible service they provide and because they are not trying to gouge me on the cost of their service, I strongly urge you to get LifeLock to protect your identity as soon as possible to avoid the headaches.
Read other reviews and opinions of 
lifelock now if you aren't sure if an idenity protection service is worth your while.
