Frugal Identity Theft Tips
Computer Fraud
Never respond to what seems like an email from anyone who has your
financial records. Hackers are coming up with new ways all the time to make
these emails look legitimate. Always log in to your accounts, or call
them, and ask if there is a problem.
Freezing Your Credit
If you put a freeze on your credit, no one can open a credit card in your
name.
Mailboxe
It is worth the money to buy a locking
mailbox. Financial records, and even blank checks, as well as payments to
you are just too easy a target.
Shred your Documents
Shred all important financial
records, and use the type of shredder that does cross-shredding so that there is
no way the paper can be pieced together.
Social Security Numbers
Avoid giving other people your SSN. Be aware, however, that these numbers are not that difficult for
other people to access.
