I burn every receipt that has our info on it (after a respectable amount of time)! I never use my ATM card as a debit card in store...I use it as a credit card and this way I don't have to put in my P.I.N number...but only sign it...in which case I can do what Oldfart said and check to make sure the entire number isn't revealed, but just the last four numbers!

When I get invites to open credit, I return the card with my info on it, shredded and then shredded again, in the "no postage necessary" envelope that the company sent it to me with...with a note to cease asking cause I ain't biting.

Just about ready to stop putting my outgoing mail in my personal mailbox (set at the street for pick-up and delivery), including my bills I am paying...cause the invoices include too much personal info. It's going to be a bit of an inconvience...but I'm going to take my bills to the post office and hand them to the postal worker personally.

Got some of my bills paid directly from my account online...and am rethinking that security as well since my older sister just had her identity stolen and lost over $6,500 from her account before notification!!
