What Does An Identity Thief Want?

In the wrong hands, your incoming mail can be a huge resource of information about you. A bill from your credit card company, a statement from your checking account, an unsolicited offer of a new, pre-approved credit card (complete with application). And your outgoing mail may include personal checks you are sending to pay bills (containing your routing and checking account numbers). If you don't have a locking mailbox for incoming and outgoing mail, you are vulnerable. It pays to have a locking mailbox that will secure your incoming mail. If you have an important out-going mail you do not want sitting in your mailbox, it is recommended you drop it at the Post Office or use a USPS dropbox.
