Stop Identify Theft
 

I was standing behind an elderly woman in the bank. She was holding up her deposit slip. I saw her name, the amount she was depositing, and part of her checking account number. She was covering her address.
I tapped her on the shoulder. I told her, "If I was a thief, I could get all your information." I pointed at her deposit slip. She folded her deposit slip. We started talking about identify theft.

The teller called me to the counter. Before I left I said goodbye, Ms. ****.

This experience made me think about how identify thieves worked. They must worked in pairs. Because if I had an accomplice with me, he or she could have read her address.


Let's stop identify theft. Identify theft hurts everyone.

Information I had to share with you.

Good point Soror! People need to be VERY careful with their information. People are getting more and more creative with how they get our information.

BUY A SHREDDER!

I think that is great informatin. I'm sorry to crash your board. This is such a great topic because people don't realize how easy someone could read their information.

I also try to make sure no one has their camera phones out while I'm either writing a check or using my card. You never know if they are trying to capture your information.

I hope you don't mine I crashed.

I forgot about that! Its sad that people are misusing those phones. I know some clubs won't allow you to come in if you have a camera phone.
