I do all of the above.
ReplyDelete2,3 & 4. Even though limiting the number of credit cards (for me) has nothing to do with identity theft. I just use the ones that give me cash back.
ReplyDeleteWho'd want to stael my identity. I couldn't give it waya :)
ReplyDeleteWow ... see what I mean. I should read stuff before I post.
ReplyDeleteLifelock. If Brian dies I"ll never be able to access our accounts.
ReplyDeleteI got identity thefted over ten years ago. I was lucky, because the idiot used her picture on an ID and it clearly wasn't me, so I was able to clear it up without huge incident.
ReplyDeleteI had a credit card number stolen from the bank's records three years ago, and that was quite the hassle to clear up.
I limit the number of cards (to one), shred papers, don't buy on-line except from huge obvious vendors, keep good spyware detectors on my computer and have the bank check my credit records when I do other business with them.
