Do not give my name or other personal information, such as my address or salary, when applying for a credit card. Be extremely careful about disclosing account information by telephone to unsolicited callers. Purchase large amounts of credit insurance. All of the above. None of the above.
Preventive measures are always the best safeguard.
Besides, potential credit issuers need to know some personal information in order to learn about your credit history and determine your credit-worthiness. I am receiving calls from creditors about overdue bills. I have written some post-dated checks lately to put off expenses. I am arranging bills in order to put off some of them until next month or the month after that. All of the above.
