Identity Theft
Make sure online purchases are done using only a secure
website. Be very careful when using a credit card ordering
merchandise over the telephone. Be sure to destroy documents
you receive in the mail that are unimportant materialistically,
but contain your personal information, such as your date
of birth or your social security number. Papers containing
your identifiers should be destroyed in a paper shredder
in another manner rather than simply thrown into the trash.

Finally, remember to be very careful when dealing with door-to-door
salesmen. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it’s
more than likely something to stay away from.
