Identity theft is one of the fastest growing consumer crimes in the nation.  Everyone knows someone affected by this crime.  Criminals says it’s easier than burglary and with less risk.

Any meth head can swing by mailboxes in your neighborhood and steal credit card offers and those damn credit card “convenience” checks your card company sends you.

You are at risk.  If  identity theft hasn’t happened to you yet it will! Even if your careful with your mail just using your debt card to buy gas can be risky.  Criminals install scanners and steal your debt card information.  It can go on for awhile before police and the gas station owner wise up and shut this down.

If you use your debt card at a gas station use the credit only option instead of the debt card option or use a credit card.  This may protect you.
