Well I don't know if I can list them all but here are a few:Bank Cards: Do not loan your bank cards to anyone or let anyone know your PIN numbers and make sure when you use them for banking or purchasing that you "hide" the keys that you are pushing when you insert your PIN number and also DO NOT ALLOW THE CLERK TO KEEP YOUR CARD in their hands while you are doing this. It is not a credit card so there is no reason for them to have it as they keep the credit cards to check your signature. Also if they keep it they can hold it with the number up in case there is a hidden camera around; Credit Cards: DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO USE YOUR CREDIT CARDS. Do not give your credit card number over the telephone or the internet unless YOU HAVE CALLED or CONNECTED them yourself. As in "Hello, this is the "Local Newspaper" would you like a subscription? All we need is your credit card number and you will get delivery starting Monday." Tell them to take a hike. Surveys: Do not give out any personal information such as Total Income, Bank Account Numbers, Credit Card Numbers, SSN or SIN; IN GENERAL just be very careful who and where you are giving out information to or for what. If you feel you want to give it over the phone and you haven't called them, they have called you then request proof of identification such as a phone number and then check online for the phone number and what it is connected to... as in Canada go to wwww.Canada411.com and put in the phone number. Call that number to find out if they are doing "offers". Then if it is legit you can call them back for whatever offer they have given you. |
