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.

Identity theft happens to more than eight million people annually, according to statistics from 2006. This has caused an onslaught of companies offering services to prevent identity theftfor a price. There are measures that the average consumer can take on a day-to-ay basis that will go a long way to preventing identity theft. These measures include guarding your privacy and personal information, shredding your mail and outdated financial documents, monitoring your credit reports, and possibly purchasing identity theft insurance which wont stop identity theft from happening to you but will prevent identity theft from eating up your savings and ruining your credit for a long time.
How to Guard Your Privacy
Most people don't know their rights with their privacy information, nor do they know how companies treat their personal data. Most people are aware that they shouldn't give out personal information through an emailed link or through a telemarketer. But, it is still a challenge for most people when they are faced with an "official" sounding company who is asking for personal information. Of course, identity theives are aware of this- they are impersonating collections agencies, good will agencies, and medical facilities. When someone is on the phone pressuring you that a loved one is in danger, or your house may be foreclosed on, you are faced with conflicting feelings when they are asking for your social security number.
Be Sure to Shred Your Mail
Bank and credit card statements arent the only types of documents that you should shred to prevent identity theft. Purchase a crosscut shredder and destroy any financial statements you dont need for taxes, any offers for credit that come in your name, and utility bills once they are paid. By shredding these documents in a crosscut fashion you greatly decrease the chance that a dumpster diving identity thief will get their hands on your information, and take a big step towards preventing identity theft.
Always Monitor Your Credit Reports
A new law that took effect a few years ago entitles every consumer to one free annual credit report from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus: Experian, Trans Union, and Equifax. If you choose to space your reports, you can obtain a credit report every four months. Monitoring this information on your credit report is a huge step in keeping identity theft from happening to you.
Consider Purchasing Identity Theft Insurance
While identity theft insurance wont really prevent identity theft, it can make picking up the pieces afterwards much less devastating. Usually a policy will cover out-of-pocket expenses, including loss of wages while you clear up your credit history, as well as any charges that you are liable for. Most companies dont hold you responsible for charges made by an identity thief but its always better to be safe than sorry. Identity theft insurance policies are reasonably priced at about $25-$50dollars a year for $15,000 to $20,000 in coverage.
