protection. These services not only
monitor a person’s personal and
financial information on the Internet
black market, public records and
other channels where it can be used
and exploited by identity thieves, but
most also provide real-time credit

reports and scores. In the event your
loved one does fall victim to identity
theft, an identity theft protection

process of restoration less of a
headache. AARP Credit and Identity

theft protection for members ages
50 or older, with both individual and
family plan options. The individual
plan covers one adult and costs $9.17/

while the family plan protects two
adults as well as two children or
grandchildren ages 25 or younger
for $17.50/month with an annual
subscription.
The New Mexico Department of
Public Safety and the Office of the
Attorney General both have resources
pages about ID Theft and ways to
prevent it. They suggest the following
resources:
• The New Mexico Office of the
Attorney General website’s consumer
protection page, www.nmag.gov. /
identity-theft.aspx
• The Federal Trade Commission,

idtheft/.
Most importantly, everyone should
have their eyes wide open to the
possibility that they could be next.
