But not long after he arrived, he was home alone one day when they had an experience that left him shaken to the core.

He was upstairs in his and Nicole's bedroom when he heard heavy footsteps climbing up the stairs.

The closed door began to shake and the latch rattled violently.

It abruptly stopped and everything fell into a suffocating silence.

The latch slowly lifted and the door creaked open.

But of course no one was there.

Shortly after that, Nicole became pregnant.

She and her boyfriend felt that the house was no place to raise a child and decided to move out.

Vanessa was left completely alone in a house that completely terrified her.

One thing we talk about a lot on this show is how easy it is for strangers to get their hands on your personal information online.

There are literally thousands of companies collecting, aggregating, and selling your data.

Things like your full name, phone number, home address, relatives, employment history, and more, often without you even realizing it.

And that kind of information floating around the internet can lead to some very real problems.

I've actually dealt with this personally.

A while back, someone managed to locate my personal information from a data broker, most likely, and they went ahead and filed a tax return on my behalf, which was completely fraudulent.

trying to claim that they were me in order to get a big tasty tax refund.

And luckily, the IRS caught the return before it was processed.

But this really scared me, to be honest with you.

I had no idea how easy it was for somebody to get a hold of my exposed data.

And that's why Incogni is so important to cleaning up your personal information on all those data brokers out there.
