Providers push insurance covering theft of identity
Ed Bloom considered himself a very educated consumer when he made the decision last year to purchase identity theft insurance.
"I'm a victim," said the retiree from Ayer. "Having been through this before, I saw it as a great benefit."
Bloom discovered his identity had been stolen in September 1999 when he was contacted by a collection agency demanding payment of more than $800 he allegedly owed on a phone account in Brooklyn, N.Y.
