Credit Card Fraud
(Continued)
Properly discard documents. Cut up, shred, or otherwise destroy credit card statements, bank statements, pre-approved credit offers or any other documents that contain your personal information. Destroy credit card receipts, too.
Limit identification pieces. Carry only essential identification pieces in your purse, wallet, backpack or car. Do not carry your Social Security card or your birth certificate with you unless absolutely necessary.
Limit the number of credit cards you carry. Try to only carry one or two. Memorize your PIN and password numbers. Do not write them down. Make and keep copies of account numbers in a secure place.
Guard your personal information. Don’t give out credit card or Social Security numbers to people you don’t know. Do not have your Social Security number printed on your checks or driver’s license.
