Privacy Protection
I was getting my mail on Saturday and got to talking with Cleda Hampton and Ann Hankins about all the junk mail we get. We starting sharing information about privacy protection and shredding anything with your name on it, we all learned something from each other. Cleda suggested I post what we learned on the LVH Web Page so other people can be more watchful. We need to make it as hard as possible for people to steal our identity:
SHRED THE FOLLOWING:
· Anything with your name and address appearing.
· Pay special attention to the bar code under your name on envelopes. You would be surprised what information that contains and a bar code reader cost less than $100.
· Catalogs – don’t just pull off the back page where you name appears, but look on the order form, you will see your name and address also listed.
· All applications for credit cards: again lots of information imbedded in the bar code.
· Bank and credit card statements
· Cancelled checks
