Hide your name under your pillow…
shred all your personal correspondence and when using the internet check that the little padlock in the corner is present otherwise it is an unsecure site. memorise your pin number and if you think someone has found it out then change the number every so often ie like once every couple of months.
I heard a good tip for checks. Do not put your whole name on the check. Put your first initial and your last name ONLY. Also, if you are paying a credit card by check, do not put the whole number on it. Just write in the last cluster of digits, usually 4 digits.
