It's no secret: Identity theft is a major problem in America.
Think you're not at risk? Unfortunately you are.
• Do you hand your credit card to servers at restaurants?
• Do you sign your credit cards?
• Do you supply personal information over the Internet?
• Do you keep your Social Security number in your wallet or purse?
• Do you leave mail at your home or business for the postal carrier to
collect?
