Practical Advice
-
The next time you order checks have only your
initials (instead of first name) and last name put on
them. If someone takes your checkbook they will not
know if you sign your checks with just your initials
or your first name but your bank will know how you
sign your checks.
- When you are writing checks to pay on your credit
card accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number
on the "For" line. Instead, just put the last four
numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of the
number and anyone who might be handling your check as
it passes through all the check processing channels
won't have access to it.
- Put your work phone # on your checks instead of
your home phone. If you have a PO Box use that instead
of your home address. If you do not have a PO Box, use
your work address. Never have your SS# printed on your
checks. (DUH!) You can add it if it is necessary. But
if you have it printed, anyone can get it.
- Place the contents of your wallet on a photocopy
machine, do both sides of each license, credit card,
etc. You will know what you had in your wallet and all
of the account numbers and phone numbers to call and
cancel. Keep the photocopy in a safe place. I also
carry a photocopy of my passport when I travel either
here or abroad. We've all heard horror stories about
fraud that's committed on us in stealing a name,
address, Social Security number, credit cards, etc.
