No matter what the teller or credit officer says, do not write down your credit card number on your check. The practice violates the law in lots of states because it opens you up to fraud. In California, for example, the practice violates Civil Code Section 1725. Check your state government or state legislature websites for details.

But leaving them where a wily thief can get them leaves you open to attack. And if you're in the habit of picking them up but then tossing them in the nearest trash bin, you'd better change this unwise habit as well. Dumpster diving is a common practice of identity thieves.

Shoppers are constantly at risk of having their purchases grabbed away from them. So beware. Identity Theft Prevention Tip #4: Watch for Skimmers! For a final identity theft prevention tip, keep your credit card in sight. Here's why: A dishonest store or restaurant employee can use a skimmer (a small handheld gadget to swipe a card to get the account info) on your credit card's magnetic stripe. They downloaded into a PC and used for online shopping or to make credit card counterfeits. So stop a thief in his tracks by following the store clerk or getting up from the table to observe how your card is used. The minor inconvenience can save you a world of trouble and regret.
