10 Ways to Prevent Identity Theft

Check Statements

Some of the most missed forms of theft are online banking statements or credit card statements. When the statement comes in the mail, we check the balance and make our payment.

This isn’t, however, the best practice. You have to check every single transaction and if you don’t recognize an item, make sure you inform your bank. Doing this allows them to investigate, and it can prevent major fraud from occurring, by simply being more attentive.
