Check Your Credit Card and Bank Statements Regularly...

Delhommey · 12-03-2008, 05:44 PM

We've noticed a severe upswing in people attempting to place fraudulent orders in the last week or two, so be extra vigilant with credit cards.

I'd recommend looking online more than you normally would.

It might be isolated to just us, but I doubt it. We are extremely vigilant (it's not easy to catch), as are most of the good retailers, but believe me, there are plenty of sloppy ones out there that might not catch the order.

Luckily, you are protected (if you use a CC. A bank card will depend on the institution).

Being a Loan Officer I see people's identity stolen all the time who need loans. It's a shame that I can't give them a loan b/c they can't "prove" their identity was stolen.

I love AMEX, but I'm still cautious. No more Thai midget scat pr0n for me!

Max out your credit card, so that no one can use it.

^ only way to live your life.

haha, but for real. Most younger people i know check their accounts daily...as do i. With today's world this should be a given. Having Chase or Amex or a nice bank is helpful too.

I don't like to proactively make myself feel sad by checking my account everyday, so don't do it as often.
