• Close all unused credit-card accounts.
  
• Never leave credit card or ATM receipts behind, or throw them into public trashcans. Tear them up and throw them away at home.
  
• Beware of preapproved credit offers. If you decide you don’t want it, tear it up before throwing it away because it contains personal information.
  
• Consider an unlisted telephone number. Identity thieves often get their information from phone books.
