Free QR Icon Maker--Way cool business tool
To use QR codes on your business cards and other things, you'll need a couple of tools. 1st, you need to install a QR scanner app on your phone. Search the net for "QR Reader" and the model of your smart phone to find a scanner app; they're available for the iPhone, Windows Mobile, Nokia, BlackBerry, and other app-based phones with a camera.This free QR icon machine can embed a URL, text, a phone number, or an addressed and ready-to-send SMS message into a QR code.
Warning: When you're generating a QR code: the more data you cram into your code, the smaller its pixels will be, and the more sensitive the scanners will have to be to read it accurately. Second, if you're encoding a URL, make sure it's a site that will load well on a mobile phone browser.

It might seem like a huge number, but it is estimated that nearly 10 million people will be affected by some form of identity theft this year. The reality is that if you do any form of online or telephone shopping you could be at risk. In fact, in worst case scenarios, a cunning thief only needs you name to commit some forms of crime using your identity. Here are six ways that you can prevent identity theft happening to you.
Don't throw out any documents or letters that have personal information on them. Rather, you want to tear up the letters or, better still, shred them with a proper paper shredder. Paper shredders are quite cheap now and easy to operate. It is a very simple task to do to protect your identity and an even simpler task for thieves to pick out revealing documents from your trash and use then to steal your identity.
Don't leave your mail in the mail box for a long time. Again, opportunistic thieves may go through your mail box for any letters that give away personal information. You could even get a PO Box for increased security but this may be a cumbersome way to get your daily mail. If you go on vacation then ask the postal service to hold your mail or redirect it to a trustworthy location while you are away.
Protect your social security number. It is very rare that you will need to give this information out so never carry it on you. Rather, store it at home in a secure location like a safe or concealed space.
Be careful with any receipts that you are given. Dont leave them lying around at the ATM or bank for instance. If you use a credit card to pay for something, take the receipt with you as it contains information that is useful for identity thieves.
Don't give any personal details to cold calling telephone people. They may sound legitimate but this is no guarantee that they are legitimate. Better still, ask them who they are, the company they are calling on behalf of and the reason for the call. Then phone back the company on a verified number and ask about the person and reason for calling. This should prove the legitimacy of the call and you may want to give the information they asked for away then.
Stop the junk mail arriving. You don't want any personal information about you in the hands of people that send out mail that you consider to be junk. Reply to them by asking to have your name taken off their list. They must do this by law. Even your name and address can be used or sold to other lists.
Ultimately, most of these suggestions are pretty much common sense, however people tend to drop their guard after a while because nothing happens to them. Hopefully, this article can increase your awareness and vigilance in preventing identity theft. Make these suggestions into everyday habits that don't need thinking about and you can prevent identity theft happening to you.
