Protect yourself against fraud
Protect yourself against credit card fraud
Sign new cards immediately. When you receive your new or replacement credit card in the mail, sign it, in ink, immediately. If it is a replacement credit card, destroy the old credit card by cutting it into small pieces. It is advised to throw the old credit card away in multiple places.
Shred old credit card receipts. You can purchase an inexpensive paper shredder at an office supply store. All old receipts with your credit card number and any unneeded documents with your social isecurity number or other sensitive personal information should be shredded before disposal. This prevents the common practice of criminals going through the trash to find receipts and stealing your identity. This seems far fetched but happens thousands of times each month.
Protecting yourself against fraud is simple. Take these easy steps and limit and chances of credit or other fraud.
