Prevent Identity Theft

posted in Current Affairs, Deaf, General |

A few years ago, I was getting so much junk mail, especially credit card offers, that I was getting concerned about being an identity theft victim.

When I followed the advice given out by Direct Marketing Association, the volume of junk mail trickled to almost less than one junk mail a day.

So for those concerned about identity theft or wanting to safeguard your credit history so you can buy that Sidekick II for cheap, here’s what to do (and trust me, they really work!):

Stopping Junk Mail - Register with the Direct Marketing Association’s (DMA) Mail Preference Service.

Stopping Pre-Approved Credit Card offers - The advice on stopping junk mail works but take this additional step by going to optoutprescreen.com
.
Stopping Telemarketing phone calls - Of course TTY users can play games with telemarketers, but go ahead and sign up at the National Do Not Call Registry

Always, always safeguard your personal information!
