In this completely digital world that we live in, identity theft is something that we all have to worry about.

The hassle seems to be never ending as you struggle to let everyone know what has happened and you have to keep pretty meticulous records of everything.

Several years ago my husband’s credit card got cloned when he went to a local gas station. We had no idea until I was checking our statement and I found a lot of little charges. We got everything straightened but had we not been checking, there would have most likely been a lot more charges.
People sometimes it make it much easier on hackers by having such simple passwords that almost anyone can break into their accounts. Do not do this. Make certain to keep your electronics protected from unsecured wifi.
My first apartment had some huge dumpsters for all of the residents for garbage. I was constantly surprised at how many people just tossed financial information in the garbage. You can get any of their information just like it was laying around their house. We shred everything these days.

Such great tips! Thankfully I don’t have a bank account or credit cards to worry about, just two online “money” accounts and I monitor those often. I also check my credit score periodically, but I hear checking too often can be bad for your credit. I’m not sure how often is too often though.
