BEAVERTON, Ore., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Out shopping with a bag full of receipts? Piles of special end-of year credit card promotions filling your mailbox? Leaving home on vacation? All of these situations provide a prime opportunity for identity thieves to strike.Rick Kam, president of identity theft protection and personal identity recovery company ID Safeguards, warns, "The holiday season is ripe for identity thieves to do their dirty work, and whether you realize it or not,you may be helping them. By taking a few simple steps, you can protect yourself from the efforts of fraudsters."
By following a few simple online and off line tips, consumers can decrease the odds of becoming a victim this holiday. Top tips for protecting yourself are:
-- Keep your whereabouts online a mystery: Your e-mail message should NOT
state you are on vacation, nor should you state on your blog or social
networking site that you are going out of town. Instead, say you are
out of the office spending time with family or you are going to take a
rest from your blog updates during the holiday.
