As you plan to embark on your summer vacation, you must consider what measures must be taken in order to avoid identity theft. We understand that you have a lot on your plates when it comes to planning for this vacation, and that is why we have compiled a list of 6 tips for you to follow to keep your identity safe this vacation:
- Make sure to inform your credit card carriers of your vacation before you leave, so that they can contact you if there is any suspicious activity.
- Contact the U.S. Post Office and have them put a hold on your mail, so that it is not accumulating in your mail box, susceptible to theft.
- Make sure to make copies of all important documents.
- As tempting as it may be to brag about your trip, refrain from posting any announcements on social media until you return.
- Pay all of your bills beforehand so that you are not forced to access secure information on a public computer.
- You will also want to go through your wallet and leave any unnecessary items at home.
