How can you “hum-bug” proofed your holidays?  Identity thieves are the new Ebenezers of the season.  They are stealing your identity by preying on your festive holiday spirit.  Whether it is at a house party or an office party, you need to be alert.  What takes a second to steal will take years to fix.

The Colo Bureau of Investigation says you should…

Travel light-Don’t take every credit card known to mankind with you when you go holiday shopping; also photocopy the ones you do take with and leave those copies at home.

Keep purse/wallet with you-Don’t leave your wallet or purse in the coat room or on a bed in a room that you can’t see who has access to it.

If you’re having a holiday house party, don’t leave your personal information out in the open (that includes your laptop).  Also, lock your car as it contains your personal information as well.
