Little Known Facts About Identity Theft
Did you know that:
- Online theft accounts for only 11% of identity theft?
- One study found that most identity thieves rely on low tech methods such as stealing wallets, checkbooks and debit and credit cards.
- Convicted credit card thieves say they don't need your credit card number in order to steal it. All they need is your personal information such as birth date and social security number.
- Never list your complete birth date on Facebook or any other social networking site because they are ripe for swindlers. Nor should you list your home address or telephone number on public websites.
