2007 Tax Season - Watch your Mailbox
Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007It is 2007 and time for tax related information to be mailed out. One of the easiest and effective ways identity thieves get your information is through your mailbox. Crooks know between Jan and April are the prime months for personally sensitive information to reside in mailboxes. After all, tax statements, 1099s, and other related mail has all the information on them an identity thief wants.
One way to help thwart thieves is to get a locking mailbox. They make in nearly impossible for a thief to steal your mail but very easy for the mailman to use. And only you have the key - not the mailman.
