Save more, spend less and avoid rip-offs | Some tips for avoiding identity theft:
- Don't carry a checkbook. Pay by cash or credit card.
- Don't carry your Social Security card with you or use your Social Security number as your driver's license number.
- If you're a victim of identity theft, get a police report from your local police department, ask each of the three credit bureaus to place a fraud alert on your credit report, and fill out affidavits of fraud with each company that issued credit in your name. Keep these documents forever.
