UK, September 10, 2008 (PRESSbooth.ORG) -- Callcredit’s top tips to protect your identity:
* Don’t throw your identity in the bin - keep track of your important documents and shred those you no longer need * Always check your statements and watch out for small unrecognised transactions as these can be a precursor to serious spending by a fraudster * Make certain you are watching for warning signs by regularly checking your credit report through services such as www.callcreditcheck.co.uk * Keep passwords and PIN codes safe and don’t disclose them to anyone * Don’t broadcast your identity on the internet by failing to protect your PC
