So your credit card, if it comes with other personal information about you, will go for about $45 online on the dark web. But your medical insurance will go for much more. And that's because they are able to turn that into... They can get medical equipment. They can sell the use of the insurance. And here's the thing that makes no sense whatsoever. You become a victim of medical identity theft.

Somebody has accessed your medical insurance. You find out. You report that. And you attempt to get this false information removed from your medical records. Well, that would violate the privacy of the medical identity thief. And so all you can do is have a notation on there that this information is disputed.

But quite frankly, you could have information on your medical report that could contain a false blood type or a medicine to which you are allergic to. And these things could be potentially fatal. So Medical identity theft is a huge, huge problem, and unfortunately, the healthcare industry has been very, very lax in protecting data, including medical insurance records. Wait, what?

Years ago, there was a cartoon called Pogo, and Pogo had a saying, we have met the enemy and he is us. All too often, when it comes to being scammed and when it comes to becoming victims of identity theft, we may be our own worst enemies. For instance, we put too much personal information up on social media. So The grandparent scam, which is still going on.

And that's where the grandparent gets a call in the middle of the night. The grandchild is having problems wherever they are. They've been arrested or there's been a medical emergency.
