It all depends on where the card ends up. The chances are definitely higher now. Here’s an article on protecting yourself against these kinds of things. Hope it helps:
i lost my ss card and my drivers license (my whole wallet) stolen 6 years ago. i get my credit report annually and have not had a problem. i have excellent credit.
i believe so unfortunately, especially if you have your signature on there that they can forge. it doesnt take much to have your identity stolen these days. you should contact a social security office about that and see if they can do something so no one gets the chance.
no, not really they will need ur i.d.
Yes – I would check my credit report regularly to make sure no one is using your information to commit fraud. You can obtain a free credit report at http://www.annualcreditreport.com.
Or you can look into credit monitoring. My identity theft protection includes credit monitoring. I have unlimited access to my real time credit report and the send me email alerts anytime anything changes. I have SOLUS ID. http://www.solusid.com
