The way to get peace of mind is really easy. Get rid of the plastic and don't be the least bit concerned with your 'credit score'.

Banksters LOVE rubes concerned about their 'credit score'.

Solid did you buy any E-Cig stuff from Wisconsin ?
Just curious because I was reading elsewhere a few people had a problem.
I will try to find the thread at the other forum.

Don't sign your credit cards, instead write in the box "SEE ID".
Don't pay for anything with a credit card where they walk away with the card to swipe it.
It happened to me several years ago. I suspect it was a motel that stole and gave out my info.
The theives went on a buying spree with mine and the bank caught it because of so many charges in a short time. I was fully reimbursed and issued a new card.

Here is a little online shopping safety advice we can all look at.
The best way to protect your credit card number online might be to use a fake one.Well, it’s not actually fake – it’s “virtual.” Yes, it’s legal. It’s also smart, and may be free depending on your bank. http://www.moneytalksnews.com/2010/0...l-credit-card/

I should look into this info, it sounds good.

What is not talked about much, is how much counterfeit money is floating around.
There was a program on recently and the federal agent said they are finding $300,000 a month in phony money. I'm looking at my Benjamins a little closer now.

Its pretty amazing how we've been convinced of the convenience of CC's and DC's. Look its safe and easy (easy to spend money you don't have). I always mention to people that when you use cash and write checks (with ID), you don't seem to worry about "identity" theft anymore. And as a bonus, you tend not to spend as much money.......... credit, worse than drugs.

I don't have a credit card, but I do have a debit card, and that's been jacked two in about 6 years so the money came right out of my checking account.

First things first, I haven't done so yet, but it's a perfect time for me since I need a new wallet. I'm going to get two of these, one for me and one for my mom. The reason is that thieves can now get your info without even touching your credit card.

A new wallet? I've got a name and address. I say payback is a lot better than a new wallet.

What do you say, General. Let's take a road trip to Wisconsin. We can bring Enzo, and make sure he's damn hungry when we get there.

While that sounds fun as hell, I say let the police deal with it. Plus you have any idea how much trouble you, me and Enzo could get into on a road trip to Wisconsin? I doubt we'd even make it. I could see it now, Hey Pete is it ok to shot a shotgun out of a moving vehicle in Kansas? I think so. LMAO

Oh gawd a mighty!! LMFAO!! I can see it now, hahahahahaha... I'm almost cryin' over here, lololol!

From the look of the road signs, it's either legal or noone cares.

[addisonnicogel]

Put a credit lock on your name and SSN. No one, not even you, can get credit in your name while the lock is on. If you do decide you want credit for something, it will be a hassle to remove the lock, but it sure beats the alternative.

PS, you can still use the card you have, just can't get a new card.

[Nppracph]

i got rid of my credit card a few years ago, and use cash for almost all purchases, debit for the rest.

if i really need a credit card, i can pick up a prepaid one at any western union.

...the credit lock thing is a great idea though.

[DoterrFor]

anyone have any fresh experience on "credit lock" reco from this thread?

[Romarionsion]

I use cash 99% of the time but getting the prepaid CC was a great investment for me. Yeah, it has its fees but at least I know up front what they are, $5 per card at purchase and $5 per month to the provider, with the bank it was always some shit with me always getting the worse end of it. The card is good though, I pay my ins with it, it's tied to my ebay/paypal acct and it's what I make any online purchases with. There's never enough left for anyone to steal from and I can only spend X amount...besides...there ain't anyone in their right mind that would want to steal my identity

[LxtdK9i4]

Only one thing solid ,how do we know its really you.....................

[LxtdK9i4]

Hold your credit card with the "megaphone lines" up to a BRIGHT light. Look for the RFID chip. Take a hammer. Beat the snot out of it in that particular spot. Problem with RFID Pass 'n Go and portable scanners solved.

Sounds very high tech Beefsteak..............hehe

[kimaddison]

Cops aint gonna do a dam thing if you file a PR.......... hell I would be scared because when you file one nowadays they want your SS number as part of intake protocol

Not that you have to worry about it because Police Officers are of the Highest Integrity
