Prevent ID Theft
|
Just a little reminder that nearly half the cases of credit card fraud involve someone the victim knows personally. That gives you great control over your odds of becoming a victim. One of the most important precautions you can take is to keep your information as private as possible. If you have roommates or people frequently entering your house (workers, domestic help, etc), don't leave your statement(s) lying around or tacked up on a corkboard. Use a lock box for all financial papers which include account numbers. Also buy a shredder and use it before throwing out financial papers and bill stubs. Don't leave your purse or wallet at a table if you're with unfamiliar people.
