Never divulge personal information in response to an unsolicited call, letter or e-mail. Just having information about your checking account may be enough for a thief to obtain a bank draft that deducts funds from your account.
Unless you initiate the contact with another party and you know it’s reputable, don’t provide details such as your Social Security Number, bank account and credit card numbers, personal identification numbers (PINs), date of birth, or your mother’s maiden name.
