Identity theft has become a serious issue. We hear it on the news more and more.

What do we do? We shred our papers, we purchase an anti virus software for our computer, we have passwords to get into everything we own (our passwords are even rated on a scale of efficiency now days).

There is another form of identity theft emerging in the internet wave. It’s not about your bank account, it’s not about your credit card.

It’s about your name. People will actually purchase your name on the internet, it’s called a domain name, brand themselves as You. Great chance that if they get to that point it’s not as a favor to you. It’s probably not to promote the good side of you.

Recently the owner of a large Network Marketing company, MXI Corp, has been through name theft. However, it is perfectly legal at this point to own any domain name. Unfortunately for this person, the source that purchased the domain name is not in great spirit and has dug up everything he or she could find as dirt content with promise to bring more in the near future.

All this source has done is purchase a domain name, very simple and inexpensive to do. Too bad for the owner of MXI Corp that they had not beat him/her to the task, it would have avoided some headaches.

Who wants bad advertisement for their product or company or person?

Would it not be much better to own your name and advertise your product, company or person in the way you wish?

Do you want to go through identity theft? Would you like someone to own your name on the internet? Or do you want to be the first in line for your own name?
