I had never known that you could verify your identity in such a safe and easy manner. This helped me feel safe that my information is being verified it scares me to see how many people are going through identity theft. This happened to me several years ago when someone was trying to file for taxes in my name so knowing that there is a program out there that will ensure this doesn't happen again makes me feel safe.
