Shred any mail, that you wish to dispose of, that contains financial or personal details. Credit card account statements contain a lot of sensitive information that you do not want thieves to get a hold of and even store receipts will frequently have your credit card number printed on them.

A thief in possession of sensitive information about you may also be able to go one step further, and commit account takeover fraud, simply by calling your creditor, reading off your account number, partial social insurance umber and your mother’s maiden name, and asking them to change the mailing address on the account.
