Monitor Your Credit Reports Constantly
Just having money in the bank account and hoping for the best isn’t enough to stay protected. Usually, if the bank notices unusual activity on your account, they will notify you instantly. However, there are some situations even the bank can’t notice.
Hackers can use your personal data to create new credit cards – and guess who ends up paying for it all! Thieves use all your data except for the address; therefore, you will never receive bills and it may take a while until you find out about the scam.
Simply checking your account activity on a constant basis can save you a lot of trouble.
