If there's any way to combat
identity theft, it is to keep things safe like your documents, plastic cards, passwords, and PIN numbers. So don't leave things hanging on your door or mailbox. Your trashy mails are the easiest way to steal information. When mail, cards, or doucuments have gone missing, report it to the proper authorities and cancel any pending transaction immediately. Check and verify your documents and update yourself with your personal file or records. Please, do not use your birthdates and favorite numbers as passwords. Be more imaginative and mysterious; you don't want thieves to mess with your head later. You just don't see things coming but if you can trace any shady deal earlier, then you'll have a greater chance for survival.
