Protect Your Identity

Start protecting yourself by adopting a "need to know" approach to your personal data. If someone you don't know calls you on the telephone and offers you the chance to receive a "major" credit card, a prize, or other valuable item, but asks you for personal data -- ask them to send you a written application form. There a surprising number of places where a person's social security number is their identity number.
